That is the most idealistic thing I have ever seen on this message board.
The Republicans will be dragging their feet/outright defying pretty much anything that Obama will want to do because they won't be in the business of giving the country what it wants...they will be about getting back in the White House.
Mark my words if Obama gets elected and the GOP gets control of congress they won't be cooperative at all. The last thing they would want to do is make the upstart look good and possibly get re-elected, they will want to either tear him down completely or put up enough roadblocks to make him ineffectual all in an effort to sabotage his shot at reelection.
The only hope a Dem president has (whether its Clinton or Obama) is if they control Congress too.
