Obama was elected for a reason, and he should respect the people that voted for him. If you cannot respect the people who voted for you, then don't ask for their votes. they did not vote for you to enact the same Policies of the other side. Everybody heard what Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan had to say. They were rejected. There was no need to call Mitt Romney to the White house because you thought he had good ideas. If that was the case, then you should have drop out and conceded to him. The country did not vote for compromise on anything. They voted for someone, they thought was going to fight for their issues.
