"

ou really think Obama failure is because he reached out to the Republicans too much?"
Yes. It was a complete waste of time. Anyone familiar with RWN would have known this coming into office.
"The only reason he would reach out to Republicans is to slap them in the face."
What bizarre reality do you live in where this statement makes any sense? You think he hosted a bi-partisan super-bowl party so he could then laugh gleefully as he slapped them in the face?
Do you follow politics at all?
