While yes, the GOP is being some of the most immature politicians this country has ever seen by basically holding the American public and financial well-being of the country hostage. The president should be doing more to get the dems and pubs workign together to find a compromise in some form or another.

I agree Obama shares some blame, but really would his involvement help? I think Obama kinda has to distance himself because the right outright hates him. It's clearly not just political agendas at play because Obama could say white the right will say black. Obama could then say black and they would say white.
Whatever the rights issue is with Obama, be it racism, them being sore losers or thinking he's a evil socialist, there is really nothing he can do to appease the extreme right. Personally I think Obama should have used Biden more in this and used the vice pres as middle man.
