Certainly, the majority of Americans want to see bipartisanship in order to achieve the best for the most of us. However, we cannot ignore the 'fringes' completely. We do need to find ways to allow both the 'fringes' to have their voices heard. Even if they don't like the outcome. LOL. My problem with Obama has always been that he is left and not center. He allowed Pelosi and Reid to write his agenda and he was just there to do their bidding. We elected HIM - not them. He is responsible for bringing the agenda to the GOP and working with them to find compromise. That's his job.
Unfortunately, it's now 2010 and Obama will be more concerned with campaigning - which, frankly, he never appears to have stopped. He has some great qualities - he's an excellent orator (when he cares about his subject), he's got the gift of the gab for sure.... I just wish he was less a community organizer and more of the statesman that we need. And.... I wish to hell he would do the damned job we're paying him for and stop goofing around.
Oh my gosh, you ARE an idiot!
A "bi-partisan" effort??????????
Are you that freaking stupid? What "bi-partisanship" did Obama embrace before this election? When do Democrats EVER talk about bi-partisanship when they control it all?
What did Obama tell Republians in 2009? "Elections have consequences and I won."
In that statement he basically gave the finger to republicans and told them to shut up and sit down.
What bi-partisanship is there in Obama telling Republicans to sit in the back of the bus?
THIS was Obama and the Democrat's attitude toward us for the last two years!
Did they talk up bi-partisanship when they controlled everything in 1993? Hell no they did not!
What compromise is there on Obamacare?
What compromise is there on socialism?
What compromise is there on taxes?
What compromise is there on destroying an economy?
But like a typical RINO, the minute the liberal press starts the TYPICAL talk of "compromise" once they are on the losing end, you believe them and let them lead you around by the nose!
No wonder you are so threatened by me. Just like the Republican leadership, I represent rocking that little compromise boat.
And baby, me and my Constitutional Conservatives plan to make that compromise boat the Titanic!
Where on earth did CG say that Obama had brought about any Bi-partisanship during the last two years? That was not at all what she said. What she said was that the American people WANT bi-partisanship. Maybe, just maybe, Obama will be forced to work with the other side a little bit. Maybe, hopefully, he will not be able to ram another HCR down our throats in the next two years.
Also, I would say that it is not so much bi-partisanship that we want but rather sensible gridlock to keep one party or the other from forcing their agenda on the rest of the country which is exactly what happened when HCR passed.
Immie
I expect them to TRY for some bipartisanship. I expect them to deliver some too. I suspect most of the next two years will be gridlock - which is also fine by me.... Better that than unfettered leftist agendas.
The left need to learn the same lesson as TPS.... You are not the majority.
