Obama Drops Stimulus for Benefit Cut to Woo Republicans

21. He's still trying to grab that brass ring

He has never wanted to admit that his powers of persuasion can never be enough to sway the other side into respecting him as someone who just wants to accomplish great things together. He really believes, (or has convinced himself) in his early speech about there being not a red America or a blue America, but a United States of America. He just cannot allow himself to let go of that and understand that the other side is further away and more stubborn than even since his inauguration. That the last thing they want to do is look like they are agreeing with the Black, socialist, community organizer.

So he continues to give up, give in, and give away in a hapless attempt to win favour. A favour he will never get. Meanwhile he betrays those that are supporting him and got him where he is.

So disappointing to those of us that thought that finally, in his second term where he does not have to run again, he'd start to fight for more, not less, progressive ideals.
