Or will Mr. Obama try to salvage his presidency by doing what other presidents— Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and the two Bushes—did after electoral setbacks, which was working with the opposition party?

LOL! For Clinton maybe. Not so much for Reagan and the "two Bushes?"

Reagan was tricked into amnesty. The elder Bush was forced to raise taxes, making him a one termer. And the younger Bush worked w Dems so well it resulted into one of the worst financial crises.

Tone deaf.

Reagan was tricked into amnesty.

...

I don’t know if we’ll ever get the whole truth, but considering that Reagan, with little ceremony, signed the thing one day after the 86 midterms, he had to know it was a stinker.
