at large, not insurance companies and other moneyed interests.

Not recognizing that key point is the fundamental flaw in these misinterpretations that your present of the trans-partisanship he talks about.

Most normal people out there don't want bitter fights. They want proper cases to be presented (by their elected representatives) as to what we want to and need to get done, and would respect a well-argued case, weigh the pros and cons and decide what to support.

Building consensus among the general public towards goals we want to reach is what spurs the "political will" for action. That's what Obama is saying. Please see my diary related to this: Obama's message in a bottle: We're all in this together

And although the Republican operatives in Washington might not be interested in hearing what we have to say, I think Republican and independent voters outside of Washington are. That’s the once-in-a-generation opportunity we have in this election.

  He makes a big distinction between Republican operatives in Washington,and Republican voters.
  The whole point is to disavow the whole way washington has worked of late, and build a consensus among the PEOPLE to make big changes. You can't accomplish big things with 50% +1. you have to build a clear majority in order to create change.
 Obama is not talking about capitulating to the washington crowd when he talks about bringing Republicans and Independants on board. He is talking about bringing the VOTERS on board to change Washington.
 During a campaign it is easy to misinterpret anything or twist a quote to your own advantage.
It's easy after the last few years of Democratic refusal to stand up to the administration to be skeptical  when someone says they want to "compromise", but before the last 10 years or so, compromise used to mean "everyone wins". Not one side capitulates to the other.

At least you are willing to comment in your own diaries unlike other people posting these types of diaries, so I give you props for that :)

Must be a Hillary supporter.  

Or maybe someone who is naive enough to think that wild anti-republican rhetoric is going to accomplish something in Washington?  I think what happened to the Bush administration proves that wrong.
