Now that Republicans control both houses of Congress, they warn

Avalon - Now that Republicans control both houses of Congress, they warn that Obama will "poison the well" if he doesn't compromise. This proves that congressional Republicans have perfected hypocrisy to a degree never before achieved. Their concept of "compromise" is for Obama to give them everything they want. They poisoned the well even before Obama began his first term, announcing that their top priority would be to make Obama a one-term president, by obstructing everything the administration wanted to do.
