Deciphering Obamas Chemistry with Congress_ or Lack of it.

Washington says......."he hardly ever calls. When he does, it's all business"
Republicans have less chemistry. Although, GOP congressional leaders do not try to be close with the President either.
Republicans show up to the White House upset with him already over Obamas veto threats and go in it alone policy moves.
Obama try's to reach out by having dinners ect...but due to the Republicans now being the majority there is just not really much hope for harmony between Obama and the minority.
The democrats can try as hard as they want to but it seems they just will continue to not have a voice due to the stubborn relationship between the two parties.
Obama has even gone to the extent of inviting John Boehner to go golfing who loves the game of golf yet it was an outing that has never been repeated.
Quite frankly Boehner took it as a jab for the White House to be able to veto threats.
