Obama, Political Strategist

Obama is "working with everyone" because we voted for all of them, and it was our choice to put each of them in power. He's doing his job as president to work with the rest of those who are governing. By working with even the worst of the politicians, the People get to see what everyone is really up to, then it forces our hand to either march and let the government know what we want or remain complacent. It's master political strategy at it's best, but it makes him look like a bit of a puppet.
