这不仅增加了奥巴马治理美国的难度,也让博纳和参议院多数党领袖、民主党人雷德(Harry Reid)的工作很难做。因为势均力敌,两党都不认为自己需要向对方妥协。因为意识形态上的巨大分歧,达成折衷方案对双方来说也绝非易事。
Divisions are present in the Senate, to be sure, though the 89-8 vote in the wee hours of New Year's Day showed that it's at least possible to move around them in that chamber.
毫无疑问,参议院是存在分歧的,不过新年当天89比8的投票结果显示,在参议院,至少避开分歧采取行动的可能性是存在的。
In the House, there is almost no middle ground. Most members come from such reliably Democratic or Republican districts that they simply feel no pressure back home to compromise with the other side. Indeed, in this fall's election, 125 House members won their districts with 70% or more of the vote. Such margins leave House members thinking they have their own personal mandates to stick to their guns.
然而在众议院则几乎没有中间地带。大多数成员来自民主党或共和党占绝对优势的地区,他们在家乡根本没有向对方妥协的压力。事实上,在去年秋季的大选中,有125名众议员以70%甚至更高的得票率赢得了他们所在地区的支持。这样的优势使众议院议员认为,坚持自己的立场是天经地义的事。
