A. The Republicans are supporting the escalation in Aghanistan.

B. Obama is betting that if he keeps offering his hand to the Republicans and they keep batting it away, the public will see both him and the Republicans for what they are.

C. I believe that Obama is a principled man and he thinks that the people who voted Republican at least deserve a chance to be represented on big issues. The Republican's choice NOT to represent them is their failing. It is not Obama's.
