I don't think Obama needs to come to the table. He's effectively framed a lot of the significant issues the country has faced and is facing as not his problem. The problems are because of those nasty republicans, recent rhetoric used such as "ransom" and "hostage" indicates Obama views repubs as terrorists. Why work with such people? It's great political capital for Obama to blame others instead of taking responsibility. It confirms that things won't really change, aside form perhaps rhetoric. Obama is not going to change now.
Repubs unfortunately have significantly played right into a lot of these traps. The latest fiasco I think we can agree was Repubs being out maneuvered and then throwing a tantrum. I'm not a fan of political maneuvering (manipulation/deceit for the most part) for politics sake, but it is what it is and with the help of a complicit media, the dems have brainwashed a lot of the nation regarding the scope and blueprint of issues facing the nation. Not to say repubs have the right answer, it's just that no, the dems don't have the right answer. Obviously they are both wrong if you look at where the nation stands.
For my money the main issue the country faces is how to get efficient production back up and stop free trade's detrimental effects on the middle and lower classes. As a nation we also need to conserve our purchasing habits, a bit of a nasty catch 22 for the economy. I think that solution is in more equal pay for folks hurt most over the last three decades, middle and lower classes. Repubs dont have a clue about this, the larger concern for me is that while Dems seem to have a clue they don't know how to get results. Intentions rule the roost of our political theatre and everybody knows what they say about intentions.
Cliffs: Obama is is own worst enemy.
