Generally, the president's power and capital is used to close a deal and not always to negotiate bit by bit.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's the job of the president to negotiate, but it's the job of Congress to approve.
It takes two sides to make a deal, two sides to negotiate and two sides to make it go bad.
I'm not big with negotiating.
Oftentimes, the best negotiations result in a deal that benefits both parties. There are times when you simply want to go for the jugular, but often, you want the other person to feel pleased with the outcome, even if you are the clear victor.
An Obama administration desperate to strike a deal is likely to strike a bad one.
Of course as a small country you're not necessarily in the strongest negotiating position unless you're negotiating with other small countries.
Anything can be negotiated if you have a strong leader.
I think most conflicts do end with negotiated settlements; some don't, but most do.
Certainly it is much easier to think about negotiating and having deals when there is a singular represented point of view. That pretty much is a given.
You can't end negotiations unless you begin them. And you can't begin them if you continually negotiate about the terms to begin negotiations.
