President Obama should get a fresh start, and whether he deserves it or not that's exactly the opportunity he has. It's the same opportunity Bill Clinton had in the early 90's when power was divided. In the end, Clinton did the right thing working with Republicans/triangulating, and that is why Clinton is beloved by 'Americans' and not just 'Democrats'. Nobody got everything they wanted, but everyone got something they wanted, and we balanced our budget, reformed welfare, and actually started to pay down our debts and safeguard social security, medicare/medicaid. The economy exploded, 'full employment' was realized, and the rest is history.
But this time it won't be as easy for Obama though, nor is it supposed to be as you make your bed that is what you sleep in. Take the high road Mr. President.... 'Dear Republicans, everything bad I ever said about you....JUST KIDDING! Can't we all just get along?' and not just say it with words, but be about it with actions. Guarantee you get a second chance to be an American president, and not just a Democrat President.
I think it could work
