Bipartisanship in the Bush II syndicate was just a long, fancy word that had little meaning. Now that he's building his own library W should make sure it has a dictionary that he and the rest of his mob can look up. Assuming they can read.

It's like the GOP is creating a whole imaginary world in their little heads.
The only time Bush reached across the aisle was to send Cheney over to tell Patrick Leahy to eff himself.

Let's face it, there has been no attempt by Mr Obama to even consider the Conservative opinion.
I stood with over 15,000 people on April 15th in Atlanta GA to voice OUR opinion, most of which had NEVER protested anything in their life. What did we and the THOUSANDS IN OTHER CITIES GET? A Homeland Security brief calling Conservatives terrorists AND a release stating Mr Obama "was not aware of the TeaParties".
Meanwhile Mr Obama has named yet another "Czar" to oversee cyberspace. You realize these "Czars" require no Congressional approval and answer ONLY to the White House? 15+ so far I think, lost count? I've yet to find any Constitutional Authority for "Czars". Probably a Chicago Attorney "loophole".
An un-elected "tax-cheat" runs the Treasury with the power to fire CEOs and seize PRIVATE BANKS, Gm and Chrysler are owned by the Government and the Unions (the very groups that put them out of business), Obama freely admits "the US is out of money" and yet insists that his Agenda Spending continue at a annual rate of 4 to 1 over his predecessor.
We're in deep trouble folks.
Check the Congression Budget Office or the US Treasury websites to see how bad. Don't believe the news. See for yourself.
THINK for a "change".

I've long thought that "Washington Whispers" was the section least-becoming of U.S. News & World Report. The above article does NOTHING to change my mind on THAT count.
