The President isn't going to make any deals that he doesn't think will work for the betterment of this country.
If Warren has a problem with that, she can whine to Obama about it.

President Obama doesn't have to sign any bills that the Republicans send to him from Capitol Hill.
He can veto them and then say, "we can do better than this."
He can veto anything they send to him and then say they don't meet his standard.
He can be a perfectionist, and if the bill doesn't meet all of his criteria, every little thing, he can veto the bill, and say, "naw, this isn't exactly what I want."
He can do that until someone else is in the White House.
