Well, as they say, if ya can't beat 'em, join 'em.

Seems to be our president's new motto.

Quite a change from "change".

So we get 5 1/2 years more of a Republican presidency no matter what.

2016 ... A half decade away. Sigh.

1. I think what Obama fails to realize, as did Clinton before him

is that NOTHING he does will make the repubs like or approve of him. No matter what, they will always see him and characterize him as a left wing radical. "Acting republican" will not get him anywhere with them. BUT, "acting republican" will lose him the support of the Democrats. In other words, his present course will gain him no republican friends but will lose him many Democratic ones.
