I didn't dismiss the National Review article. It is an interesting article. I just thought it fair to state that it is a very conservative magazine. I would do the same if it was a liberal magazine.
And maybe the Republicans are being dismissed from meetings etc, but I don't see them making public solid alternative legislation. If they are, then they need to take their case to the American people. Every time I see them, they are with folded arms and being negative. I just don't think that is helpful, any more than I think the Pelosi contingent is helpful.
As far as Obama saying "we won". Well, they did. And I assume he is frustrated with being lectured to by the Republicans, just as I supect that they aren't really trying compromise and come up with something that will work. Is that the way I want to see my government run? No. I pretty much disgusted with all of them.

Politicians can act as childish and parochial as any 5 year old.
The thing is this, when people aren't getting your message, you either find another message or you change your method of delivery. The sad truth is that while everyone pays lip service to "thinking outside the box" (as trite and overused as that is), the fact is that no one really wants to do that. They want to stay in their comfort zone. Remember shifting contextual paradigms? You paradigm usually gets shifted from outside not from within.
