No argument from me regarding how Obama handled Republicans, but that's not what we've seen happen since Biden took office. He's done a great job of getting much of his agenda passed by peeling off what few "moderate" Republicans are left, and he hasn't caved to Republican demands at all without extracting serious concessions on his end too. The reality is Republicans control the House right now, so they have to work together with Democrats to some extent, whether or not we emotionally would prefer Biden just give them the finger
