Increasingly politicians are rewarded for taking the most extreme maximalist positions and sooner or later, that catches up with you, Obama warned.
The GOP was first on the list of causes that Obama blamed for the political divisions that are blocking his agenda, such as increased immigration. However, his list also included a series of subsidiary causes that are actually consequences of underlying ideological conflicts and economic factors.
