NBC/WSJ Poll: Obama Seems More Bipartisan Than GOP
NBC/WSJ ^ | 2-26

President Barack Obama approaches Friday's budget deadline with a far stronger reputation than Republicans for seeking bipartisan unity, a new NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll has found.

A certain significant segment of the population has a problem distinguishing between “capitulation” and “compromising”, probably because they can’t pronounce [or define] either.
