That there, is on a level of so much delusion it makes LG look like he's firmly planted in reality...

I've yet to read anything credible from her. Her editorials are very lousy in logic.

And yes, the reader comments are far better.

Want good bathroom reading? Read her previous posts. Jay Bookman rivals her on this.

Amazing. I think she has the Republicans confused with the Dixiecrats.

he doesn't have to believe it himself as long as he's able to make the voters believe it

Whatever legitimate criticisms you might have of individual pieces of her article, and whatever legitimate complaints you might have about Obama, there is more than a kernel of truth to the point that the GOP has actively resisted bibartisanship at virtually every level since '08. In fact, those few times a Republican has steped up to the plate he or she has been shouted down by the Tea Partiers as disloyal or a RINO.

Showing a willingness to compromise, no matter how noble the ideal, gets any GOP member targeted by his own party. Its a shame because the country right now needs everyone puitting their heads together and the far right just won't allow it because they don't want Obama to have any success, at all.

I guess in a closed door meeting with Republicans discussing the stimulus telling them point blank "I won" was an act of bipartisanship? Parading that farce of a CSPAN healthcare debate with Republicans but shooting down every GOP amendment on healthcare was bipartisanship? These are two of his biggest agenda items that basically got a big Rahm 'fu' in their faces.

Perhaps LG you can show me some of this bipartisanship beyond a token photo op.

why was bipartisanship required? Did the Dems not have enough votes in Congress to pass anything they wanted to? Obviously the people were for these ideas and it was the big, bad Repubs in the minority who kept the USA from progressing right?

I was talking to a state lobbyist just the other day and he was very upfront about his dissatisfaction with the current state of politics in general. He says that on the state and local level, he used to be able to spread the money and attention around. Things are so contentious now, that you have to pick one party and roll the dice. Compromises are hard to come by, and this is in a state where the dems and repubs are not really that far apart.

To pretend as though the dems are amicable to any kind of compromise is assinine.

In the end, if the dems were unified, Obama would have gotten more legislation through anyway. The independents in this country are not ready for such a hard turn to the left. You know it.

when the president's agenda is "my way or the highway" i really fail to see how people can expect the GOP to go along with it. this is like blaming a rape victim becuase she's not enjoying it enough.

1st of all LG. the republican could not stop any of the socialist agenda. the dems had filibuster proof majorities in the both senate and in the house. the republicans could not stop anything.

2nd. there was absolutely nothing hussein did to work with republicans. it's always funny that it has to be the republicans responsibility to work with dems... never the other way around.

3rd. obama doesn't want America to come together because he needs them divided. that's how he got somne of his socialist agenda through. luckly, America is coming together, we're against Hussein.

I'll chime in on this too:

Obama made less effort to work with the opposite party's Congress than any POTUS in history - check the number of times he met with or offered to meet with R congressional leaders. It's "unprecedented" how infrequent these attempts were.

The two-faced "I'm open to new ideas no matter where they came from" vs. "Republicans have no ideas" is laughable on its face and disturbing in it's reality. We truly had a my way or the highway approach.

The problem was exaccerbated by Reid and Pelosi's actions to lock Rs out of debates and block them from even offering amendments. Together, the Ds in both Congress and the WH were entirely engaged in an effort to prevent R input to policy making.

Your concern about what compromise means to Rs is equally true of Ds. Any Ds that compromised were targets of the left.

The apparent confusion surrounds the idea of what it means to be bipartisan - to Obama and Co. it means that Rs should agree with the D agenda. Obviously that is not the spirit of bipartisanship.

Wow.

How's that "full disclosure" going for the Obama administration? It can't be going to great since even CNN is bashing him over it.

That's the question that comes to my mind. The Democrats has a once in a generation situation holding the White House, the House and a super majority in the Senate . . . yet it's all the minority party's fault.

. . . and if you've ever read Cynthia Tucker you know this is par for the course. I can deal with differing viewpoints, but she consistently writes things that just defy reality.

Did Glenn Beck ever write an article about people being jailed for not buying health insurance? If so, that would be the dumbest article ever.

Can you even write articles on a chalk board?
