If Obama playing basketball disfigured some upset, then divided in Congress under the complex situation, caught in the Democratic and Republican parties between then let him headaches.

Eastern Time the morning of November 30, U.S. President Barack Obama in the White House and Democratic and Republican congressional leaders, the rest of this Parliament session to discuss the organization of work. This is a mid-term election defeat the Democratic Party after the first high-level talks between the two parties.

Although Obama has repeatedly Republican Party before the meeting, "said Good," and repeatedly stressed that "work together", but as expected the outside world, the first confrontation between the two parties did not achieve substantial results, on whether and how to extend the tax cuts and promoting economic recovery, approved a new treaty on nuclear disarmament still have differences on such matters. I do not know when we can reach a consensus on the face of the subject, Obama must be very "headache." The next two years because of the president in his career, how to make up the differences between the two parties to promote the implementation of its policies, will become his "routine."

Held in early November mid-term elections, Democrats not only lost control of the House of Representatives, and its control of seats in the Senate also has shrunk dramatically, while the Republicans regain the House. Analysts believe that the situation of divided Congress is likely to contribute much to push the administration's predicament, Obama had a number of policies, including health care reform, financial regulation, fiscal policy, and future policy will be the Republican plan to contain, the U.S. legislative and administrative efficiency will be reduced into a predicament.

To break this situation, Obama had to find ways to seeking the cooperation of the Republican Party. In this high-level talks between the two parties the day before, Obama proposed that all federal civilian employees salary was frozen for two years. The move was interpreted as the foreign media to the Republican Obama "a good show."

Obama gesture may have wider political implications. Members of both parties that this sends a signal that Obama suffered in the mid-term elections he called the "fiasco", the liberals out of their positions may be willing to seek compromise with the Republican Party.

This will be the White House and Republican members of the enhanced strength of a series of difficult negotiations between the start, many Republican lawmakers had called for during the campaign to cut government spending.

In response, Obama said his gesture was to open the discussion on reducing the deficit, which requires both political parties have made
sacrifices. Republicans propose salary freeze for the warm welcome and promote the same time in the frozen salary freeze recruitment of new employees.

But Obama's the "good show" did not move to the next high-level talks between the two parties turn for the better. Focus on tax cuts this pressing issue, the two parties did not reach a consensus. Republicans hope that from January 1 next year, a permanent extension of George W ยท the Bush administration launched in 2001 and 2003 the overall tax cuts to stimulate consumption and reduce unemployment. Obama and congressional Democratic leaders want to extend the tax cuts only for the middle class, while the annual income of more than 250,000 U.S. dollars of the rich are no longer tax cuts, saying the tax reduction would afford the state finance.

Public that reasonable, rational woman and she said, the two parties and different opinions, who can convince who. But the tax cuts to expire at the end, so a dispute continues, not only will not solve the problem, but will accelerate the domestic economic downturn, rising unemployment, people even more disappointed.

Although Obama said he has asked Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and U.S. Office of Management and Budget James Blue with bipartisan congressional leaders to break the bipartisan tax relief policy in the deadlock. But according to some conservative Democrats and Republican senators said, the two parties is perhaps the best results of consultations between the two parties agree to temporarily extend the tax reduction policy.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said the controversy over tax issues will be the test of the Democratic and Republican parties a touchstone of a new relationship. It will not be parties to the 2010 tax cuts to the last time dialogue. He also said that the high-level talks between the two parties is the development of the House and Senate leaders beginning a new relationship, but also the U.S. Senate and House on how to resolve the long-term livelihood problems began talks start.

Congress stalemate between the two parties can not make any decision the government to promote economic growth, reduce unemployment levels of effective decision-making, it is the leaders and the American people need to realize that a reality.

Clearly, Obama has been aware of a headache in the seriousness of the problem, in this high-level talks, Obama called the two parties to break the deadlock, "the American people not to vote for the impasse, nor vote for each other so that the two parties, they called for cooperation and progress, they will need us, we all take responsibility. "

At present, the shadow of the economic crisis has not yet dispersed, low growth, high deficits, high unemployment worries continue to plague the United States. In this context, present and future, Democrats and Republicans must learn to compromise, consultation and cooperation, or more than Obama "headache", but the entire United States to be seriously ill.
