Certainly seems like Republicans have commented and tweeted about how much they wish Obama would "work with them" (by which they mean give them everything they want while still being attacked as a crazy socialist).

The other night Rachel had a back and forth with Rep. H?????kamp who kept repeating the word "authority". He meant that President Obama had no authority, like previous presidents, because he's African American. He could only work for them and still receive no respect. So, they keep talking and saying nothing because acknowledging the problem is the first step to correcting it.
