Total nonsense. If getting anything done means that all legislation must include thoroughly-crashed policies (example is the compromise that led to maintaining the tax cuts for the wealthy that is directly responsible for a massive percentage of the national debt - tax cuts for the wealthy have never and will never improve an economy; consolidating wealth in an economy usually results in the annihilation of [or revolution in] that economy), then it's better to get nothing done at all. Simple logic.
That's all beside the point though. Being a leader means that you articulate a vision and inspire people to move with you toward that vision. To do so, a political leader has to communicate that vision with voters.
What Obama does is sporadically preach at voters, routinely upbraid his base, once in a while punch a radical republican, but mostly spends his time groveling to republicans, adopting republican talking points, and worse, in cow ed silence. And he did this when republicans had virtually no influence in Congress as well as now.
Obama is the world's worst player of "chicken." He will always get out of the way - always. And the republicans know it and take full advantage.
