Hopefully Obama has learned what most of us already knew. He cannot be "bipartisan" and be effective at the same time. I really do not know why he has bent over backwards to kiss up to Republicans- even putting 3 of them in his cabinet! Then he invites them to the White House and wines and dines them and they promptly walk out with their belly full and call Rush and Sean to denounce him and all he stands for!
I am personally sick of "bipartisan". The fact is that we won and they lost and Americans have said they are sick of the Republicans and what they stand for!
Obama needs to just IGNORE them and ram his programs and policies through without them. We don't need them and we don't want them.

Hehe...funny how you incorporate "us" and "them", like "they" really care about people like "you"

A couple of pundits have remarked that Obama isn't a slugger but a boxer with an very effective counter punch. By giving the Repugs enough rope, he can hang them dry in the future.

Remember that during the campaign many of us called on Obama to take off the gloves, he didn't and he won.

Did you miss what he said during his national address or are you just in blind ideologic rage? He said, he is trying to build bipartisanship and said that he doesn't expect it from the beginning but for the bipartisanship to develop over time.. he is hoping for more bipartisanship as he continues the presidency... he said the first 3 are only the first steps and that there were many more steps to come... seriously... can you stop with ideology of "liberalism is the only thing that matters and everything else is crap.." its getting tiresome...
