This is probably not as true as you may think. There are many sources that point to GOP meetings where they planned no-compromise obstruction to anything the president tried to do starting from his initial inauguration.
I agree in that I doubt Obama has much desire to "work with" most Republicans either, but at least (as far as we know) he didn't conspire in secret meetings to completely block anything they tried to do, partisan or not.

- nickff 10y agoThe president doesn't have to conspire with anyone else to block legislation; he has the veto. I would argue that any president is entirely within his rights to exercise the veto (as President Obama has done repeatedly), but it is a tool of obstruction.
