How could the Democrats have proposed alternatives or made compromises when they were shut out of all the key committee meetings? The GOP doesn't have that excuse this time...It's difficult to be non-partisan when the other party is saying only "no," and it's never proposing alternatives or compromises.
You sound like the republicans circa 2005
This thread was inspired by this poll i found Rasmussen Reports: The Most Comprehensive Public Opinion Data Anywhere
Take the poll and see if we in the forum poll the same as rasmussen's likely voter polls
My Opinion is that he has not really tried to be a non-partisan president, I don't blame him really as his party has total domination of the legislative branch. If I was president and had control of congress I'd be acting the same way, I'd just be doing totally different stuff
I think he tried to be bipartisan when he got into office in january. but it's really difficult to maintain that kind of effort when the people who are supposed to be working with you give you the finger and decide that from a political perspective "breaking" the president is more important.
I think he spoke like he was going to be bi partisan at his inaguaral but he never seemed to actually deliver on the words of bipartisanship. he still has 3.5 years though so that, I hope, can change.

I think many of us would like to see some bi-partisanship. Buth how would you treat people who's stated goal is to destroy you politically?
Extend the olive branch...very publicly in a way that can not be misconstrued.

I thought he tried that. And then the right very publicly told him to stick it.... after which there were three days of threads on this board about how obama got smacked down.
i wish things were more like the way you would like to see them. i'm afraid the reality is way uglier.
You haven't read his Health Care bill, have you? As is, his bill will kill private HMOs, making the US a de facto single-payer system.A Liberal for example would of supported Single-Payer Health Care, Obama isn't.
Nothing Leftist about gay marriage. Obama is Black, and Blacks overwhelming oppose homosexual anything. Homosexuality was illegal in China until just recently, and they're Communists.A Liberal for example would support Gay Marriage, and the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't tell". He isn't.
Nothing inherently "rightist" about the Death Penalty. Leftist regimes in China and elsewhere are quite fond of the Death Penalty.A Liberal would support the abolishment of the Death Penalty, Obama isn't.
Leftists have supported government oppression around the world (Che Guevara T-Shirt, anyone?). There is nothing inherently "left" about liberty.A Liberal wouldn't support the Patriot Act among some of the other Bush techniques in "protecting our country", Obama is.
Granted.A Liberal would end the War on Drugs, Obama isn't.
Doing so now would take political capital. Once we have national healthcare, legalization won't even require a bill.A Liberal would legalize Medical Marijuana if not Marijuana in general, Obama isn't.
Not according to Hugo Chavez...The list goes on. Under the definition of the narrow right definition of the right wing, Obama is an Liberal. To everybody else, and the rest of the world however, Obama is Moderate Left at best.
Both sides have embraced this battle. "You started it" arguments are pointless.I'm also not sure what is "bi-partisan" from the right when they're more focused on "breaking Obama" and making Health Care his "Waterloo".

When was that......just curious.
And where are the votes that he isn't partisan? I'm sure someone besides the one person thinks he is bi-partisan.
It's amazing how my post with all facts instead of fallacies doesn't get a response. No surprise.
As long as I have been following politics, there is been almost no bipartisan politics. How bipartisan was "The Decider?" Think about that one for a moment.
That's right, Pilgrim, and I'm ending it. Don't make me stop this car.Both sides have embraced this battle. "You started it" arguments are pointless.

Obama is definitely a Democrat though. However, only 38% of Democrats idenitfy themselves as Liberals.

Uh, I'm not Pilgrim...
And many of us don't want to see bi-partisanship.
For 6 years (Under Mr Bush) both the House and Senate had a Republican majority. It wasn't a majority large enough to actually force anything through congress, therefore, it required bi-partisanship to accomplish anything.
Look at what we ended up with. 2 wars, and and the largest deficit spending in the history of the nation. That's what bi-partisanship gets you.
