WTF?! He bent over backwards to accommodate Republicans when he was trying to push the Affordable Care Act through Congress, and (perhaps frightened by the growing Tea Party movement) they still voted against it. And to add insult to injury, they then claimed that he was the one who was being overly partisan about it.
It's a pity you are now accepting their narrative....
Obama ran out of patience for compromise almost as soon as the meetings started. Criticism and opposition reached a fevered pitch, when Republicans were locked out, but Democrats didn't need them to pass anything.
In the absence of Republican influence, Pelosi et al started gleefully touting single-payer, public option, and Medicare cuts. The lobbyists descended on Washington to protect their turf, and Democrats descended into chaos as the lobbyists gave their factions conflicting marching orders.
The final bill was hideously disfigured, but it was long overdue so Obama signed it, and then delayed implementation until he thought the economy could handle the bill's onerous provisions. Instead of moving away from the Great Society towards something modern and useful, we have simply thrown billions more into the abyss.
