If the republican led house does not pass the highways bill by March 31, all highway projects come to an end and thousands of people lose their jobs.
Now cite your examples.

janmcn - can't do that today - wish i could - have a patch over one eye and have difficulty negotiating the computer - but i googled 'obama won't negotiate' and you can read a bunch of examples there. in the examples you cited, did the republicans flat out refuse to negotiate? or did the pres refuse to give a bit to get a bit? i don't recall where the repubs flat out said NO; but rather, wanted something in return or perhaps a different approach to a similar end.
