Indeed, like Clinton before him, Obama has been unable to get Republican senators like Susan Collins to vote for her own campaign-finance policies, McCain to vote for his own climate-change policy, and – most laughably – Romney to support his own health-care plan. Likewise, he has been unable to get Republican Vice-Presidential candidate Paul Ryan to endorse his own Medicare cost-control proposals.
事实上，像前任克林顿一样，奥巴马无法说服柯林斯（Susan Collins）等共和党参议员支持其本人的竞选金融政策，麦凯恩支持其本人的气候变化政策，以及——最可笑的——罗姆尼支持其本人的医疗计划。类似地，他也无法让共和党副总统候选人莱恩支持其本人的联邦医保计划成本控制方案。
