republican arrogance going to backfire?

Obama is really pressing the republicans to work together. The republicans are still trying to say that Obama has to do what they want totally in order for there to be any working together. Of course, with Sarah Palin as the head cheerleader, the republicans are feelings the illusion of grandeur. But illusion is all that it is. They can't just get away with this kind of totally uncooperative spirit. The American people are easily duped, but not that easily. We may just see the republicans snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in the November elections through their arrogance.
