Speaking on "The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon," President Obama discussed the state of the Republican Party. “This country works when you have two parties that are serious and trying to solve problems,” the president told Fallon. He added that has happened to the GOP, “is not actually good for the country as a whole. It’s not something Democrats should wish for.”
It works even better when the Democratic President and Democratic majorities in the House and Senate can pass Obamacare in 2009 without even having to discuss anything with the other party. Reaching across the aisle only applies to Republican majorities.
