<<In other words, Oblather is lying when he claims he works with the GOP, and has every intention of reaching out to them as President>>
I hope to hell he IS lying, and is only saying what he has to say to get elected. Like his AIPAC pilgrimmage, where he had to publicly swear eternal fealty to the Jewish State if he wanted as much as a snowball's chance in hell to win the election. If Obama really meant it when he pledged his life, fortune and sacred honour to the eternal protection of Israel or that he would "reach out" to Republicans, then I'd rather see McCain win.
sirs and others seem to think that "bipartisanship" in and of itself is a worthy goal. That is nonsense. Bipartisanship's virtue depends on nothing else but the virtue of what any particular bipartisan policy is worth on its own terms.
Your country is not up shit's creek because of a serious lack of bipartisanship. It is up shit's creek as a direct result of the illegal, immoral, corrupt, cynical,incompetent, stupid, brutal, shortsighted and abysmally ignorant policies of eight years of Republican policies. There is absolutely no point compromising on them or "reaching out" to their authors. I think the American people are making it abundantly clear that those policies need to be jettisoned, along with their authors. Not compromised, not "half-jettisoned" but wholly and totally rejected in their entirety.
America wants no part of the failed Republican policies and therefore no compromise with them. Hopefully the only "reaching out" that Obama will really do the the Republicans is to "reach out" to their symbolical ass with the toe of his symbolical boot.
