And why should he? He tried "we're all in this together" approach and the GOP said, "Nah we can get a better deal when the Republican president is voted in in 2013."
Well, it's 2013. The GOP is doubling down. At least they expect him to act like Mitt Romney. Boehmer and Cantor look like they've been sucking on lemons since last November. They're gambling the possibility that they'll lose in the general election because it's certain they'll lose the primary if they abandon the Tea Party "purity". Also they forget their history. The last time this happened, the GOP lost big time in the mid-terms.
The President is a man who has a short time to solidify his legacy. The GOP is not willing to make a deal. Go figure.
