the makeup of Congress is basically unchanged. It was pointed out yesterday, that with the redrawn Congressional districts, there are about half a dozen competitive house seats. The conservative caucus has no absolutely no incentive to ever sign onto anything from this WH. Why would you, or any other rational human being, think the president would get everything he campaigned on? Divided government means just the opposite. The teabagger caucus never has to worry about being defeated by a Democrat, their only worry is a primary challenge, who will probably be harder right than they are.

Can I just say to people on this board..."Grow Up". Compromise is what adults do all the time. And if you've never had to compromise in your life, you're an extremely lucky person, and quite possibly a very lonely one. I sure hope you don't get paid to read body language.
