Both President Reagan and President Clinton were easily able to work with members of the opposite party.

Why is it impossible for Lame Duck President Obama to work with Republicans?

Because it's a different time and a different Congress,  Markle.
Today the Congress is as divided as at any time since the Civil War.
Simply because the two political parties are at war with each other.
There is no President on either side who can overcome that.

I disagree, Bob.  A President with genuine character and a true love for moving this country forward - taking everyone with him/her not just the chosen few - will bring both sides together.  I don't think we are truly as far apart as things are portrayed.  Do we have both ends of the political spectrum on this forum? Yes.  Does Boards bring us all together?  No.  However, given the right pairings of conversation even he and PKRBum were civil on a thread today.  Same thing can happen in Washington.  Everyone has to draw down the arrogance, the narcissism, and work toward the common good.
 

Do you think Trump or Sanders or Clinton or Cruz could do that?  Right now they're all we've got.

I'm going to step out on a limb and say Sanders could bring things together.    Well, maybe to a reasonable medium if the far right would look to the needs of the country.  

Q:  When has the faaaaarrrr rrriiiight ever looked to the needs of the country?  Defund Planned Parenthood?  Increase military spending and invade here, invade there, cut taxes on corporations and the ultra rich, make it impossible for blacks or Latinos to vote, build the wall and ship the 12,000,000 illegal Mexicans now living here, back to their own country, bar Muslims from everything, including coming here or living here, ban homosexual marriage, force Christian prayer back into schools, teach creationism as a science, and get rid of the minimum wage.  Ooops, I almost forgot global warming denial ... and the list goes on.

In summary, WHEN has the far right EVER looked to the needs of the country?

I said "If."

Not picking on Boards but I felt it was a good example.  

Love for moving this country forward can't work in a nation poisoned by white racism.  Obama made a tremendous effort to connect IN ANY WAY with the republicans after his first inauguration and was rebuffed totally -- because of republican racism.  Face the truth woman, if Obama had been white the republicans would have worked with him on a number of issues.  Reality

What a joke and feeble attempt to re-write history...AGAIN.

As you know well, and others do as well, Lame Duck President Obama has always been a racist and hated the police.

President Obama was in office barely six months when he went on national TV to say the WHITE POLICE OFFICER was acting STUPIDLY FOR HAVING DONE HIS JOB.

President Obama ADMITTED ON TV THAT HE DID NOT HAVE ALL THE FACTS.

From there, it went downhill.  Now we have racist demonstrations masquerading as "entertainment" during the Super Bowl halftime.
