Gotta disagree on that one Scott. President Obama Say's that he is willing to negotiate. He said the same thing during the health care debates, but never even considered any of their ideas. The Dems with a super majority even literally locked the Reps out of the room and pushed a bill through that no one had time to read first.
He says that he wants to hear ideas from the other side, but in reality has no intention of considering another plan. His own party won't even bring his jobs bill for a vote because they know that it's a lost cause. His only idea is to raise taxes. He only wants to make it a campaign issue and not a real solid plan to put people back to work. He could save his job right now if he would really negotiate with the other side, but his base and socialist ideology will never allow it.

He's melting before our eyes. 2012 can't come soon enough.
