3. Obama learned too late that there was nothing to gain by giving in to the Right.

Their entire strategy was to make his presidency difficult. Even with Obamacare, which was a Heritage Foundation idea. Obama tried that Centrist triangulation thing and they gave him a rough time, even then.

I hope this makes us aware that we need a Dem candidate for the presidency that has no use for olive branches. He needs to come in and correct wrongs in order to put our country back on course. And he or she needs to know that there is no deal making with the Right. The Right has already shown that if you leave them whole, they will come at you with all they got to derail you.
