Obama blasts opposition for lack of compromise

US PRESIDENT Barack Obama has blasted Republican leaders for what he sees as an uncompromising stance and urged cooperation between the two political parties regardless of the outcome of tomorrow’s elections.

“Whatever the outcome on Tuesday, we need to come together to help put people who are still looking for jobs back to work,” Obama said.

“And there are some practical steps we can take right away to promote growth and encourage businesses to hire and expand.”
