Hillary and Biden need to pull him to aside and tell him these fools have no intention of working with you and you need to start throwing them under the bus.and try and get all the dems to pass this bill.

1. I think after this week, you'll see and end to his bipartisanship.
He has extended his hand several times now, but after his angry (and rightfully so) speech today, I believe the buck stops here.

The sadly ironic and pathetic part is that now the repukes are going to be complaining that he isn't extending his hand enough. It's the same old tired nonsense with these people.

3. He's given them enough rope to hang themselves
Next week I expect he will hook it up to the power winch.

2. Amen. DEMS need to get tough...squash these bugs....
They need to quit empowering Rush and the LSM (lame stream media). Get a good PR person and start to manage the sound bites on the news.. just like the Repukes. Control the dialog and frame the issues.

5. The Problem?
Besides the obvious fact that the Republicans want President Obama to fail so they can return to power, another problem is that what President Obama sees as bipartisan/non-partisan is not the same thing as when the Republicans talk about the same. Republicans act like to be bi/non-partisan you have to give the minority party equal power in the government. I don't believe that is what President Obama intends when he addresses the subject. Bi/Non-partisan in his case means that the duly elected majority will not use its position to run roughshod over the minority. The majority will work to include the minority on all deliberations and be willing to incorporate good ideas given in good faith from the minority party. Our system says that basically the majority party gets to set the direction of the country. To believe that the majority (Democrats) has to capitulate to the minority (Republicans) in the name of the ideal of non-partisanship is ridiculous. Republicans stop being part of the problem, take part in creating the solution or get out of the way!!!
