Are the republicans in Washington trying to help him, or blocking him at every turn from doing anything he tries. With Boner and Bitch and the boys, we are lucky that it is improving as fast as it is, which isn't very fast. But, it is getting better.

Help him do what? Where has Obama made any genuine effort to compromise with Republicans in the Senate? When you vote for liberals in Congress, do you expect them to rubberstamp a right wing legislative agenda when there is a Republican in the White House?

Republicans were able to find common ground with Bill Clinton even as they worked on impeaching him for lying under oath to a federal judge. George W. Bush was even able to work with Congressional Democrats to pass legislation such as the No Child Left Behind act, despite substantial opposition from conservatives in his party.

Obama is a hard core socialist who has done nothing but antagonize his political opponents in Congress. To expect Republicans to toss their core prinicples to the wind so that Obama can undermine our capitalist economy and grow the federal government at breakneck speed is a liberal pipe dream.
