Obama is willing to regotiate with Putin but not the Republicans.

Someone needs to make a bigger point of this in the New Media. The Dear Leader has said many time that it his way or the highway when negotiating over the budget, the debt ceiling, gun control, et. al. when writing new laws in his dealing with the Republicans in the House and Senate. But he is more than willing to negotiate just about anything with Putin, Assad, the UN. See, the Drive-By Media won't (can't) influence these foreign leaders, since they don't view them as the enemy.
