To be fair, the democrats were never too interested in bipartisanship when Obama took office, and it's basically devolved into both parties essentially holding the "my way or the high way" attitude.The Republicans have already taken their stand - which is not to budge or reconcile one iota.
Why bother tamping down the rhetoric?
Much as I hate to say it - I think rhetoric may be the right tactic at this time.

The Republicans have shown on multiple occasions that they are willing to work with Democrats to better the country.
It be nice if Democrats actually tried to though.
Pardon me if i call BS on that thought when early on, Obama's response to a republican idea was "I won."I think Obama was seriously interested in bipartisanship. I do not think the Democrats in Congress were however. It just made the partisan stances stronger.

I think some of the Democrats where interested in bipartisanship. I do not agree AT ALL that Obama was. Obama was only interested in going down in history as the President who got "health care reform" passed. And it really didn't matter to him at what cost to the American people. He just wanted it passed, and to hell with bipartisanship.

Better yet was when Obama admitted that evening when he spoke to the republicans on national TV...
If I recall...when he was called on the carpet about the "no ideas" rhetoric he was forced to admit that "yes, I saw all of your ideas."...and then he rationalized him saying that they had no ideas becuase ...and I quote....."I just did not think they would work"
And only a true partisan would not see that as him saying "my way or the high way"
