The president has no interest in working with Republicans, at least as we would normally understand the term. When you work with someone, you need to take their opinions into account, try find common ground, and compromise. When President Obama says he wants to work with Republicans, he means he wants them to shut up and go along with him. He doesn't want to work with Republicans. He wants to defeat Republicans.
Which is not inherently wrong. I just wish someone on either side (other than Rush Limbaugh) would stand up and admit it, rather than giving us all this blather about bipartisanship and working together.
