Obama Draws 26,000 For Madison Rally (VIDEO)

When you heard Obama say that he "wanted to work together with Republicans", how did you imagine that would work?
The old, experienced politically active among us knew it was a BS line, meaningless political rhetoric, aimed at getting Republican crossover voters and Centrist voters, who tend to be uncomfortable with conflict, and just want us all to get along but haven't a clue about how that happens and haven't given the 'how' of it much consideration.
Republicans never made any secret of their intention to obstruct a Democratic Congress. It's what they were doing since Democrats took over control of Congress in 2006.
Obama's rhetoric on 'bipartisanship' was along the lines of, "Vote for me if you want to break the gridlock in Congress because Hillary's too polarizing; I've worked with Dick Lugar on bill to stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons."
What did you presume from that? That Republicans would cross over and vote with Democrats because Obama has a great smile/smart/reasonable/silver-tongued/blahblahblah?
Did you think that Obama and Democrats were put into power to cave on their platforms and policies, and vote for Republican-like legislation?
