Obama and Bipartisanship: The Campaign vs Now
Posted by: conVince ()
Date: September 09, 2009 12:26PM

Obama, election victory speech: "In this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people. Let's resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long."

Obama's behavior in regards to his biggest domestic agenda piece? As usual with Obama and the demokrats, broken promises. Obama hasn't spoken to GOP leadership in over four months. I wonder what kind of "bipartisan" BS we are going to hear tonight in his speech to Kongress on health care? Some say it is best for the demokrats to own what they are doing but some of us would prefer a teamed approach.

So, tonight is his big night.

Are their any odds on success/failure?

Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, said Mr. Baucus’s proposal to establish nonprofit insurance cooperatives was no more acceptable to him than the idea of a new government-run insurance program.

“You can call it the government option,” Mr. McCain said. “You can call it a co-op. You can call it a banana. But the fact is, it is government intervention into the free marketplace, which will lead to crowding out, which over time will lead to government control of health care in America.”

Senator John D. Rockefeller IV, Democrat of West Virginia, criticized the co-ops from the other side of the political spectrum. Mr. Rockefeller said insurance co-ops had “a checkered history” and would not provide effective competition to private insurance companies.

The idea of co-ops is “ill-defined and unexplained,” Mr. Rockefeller said. “They may work for farms and electricity, but they won’t work for health insurance.”

McCain was just on Larry King. Damn, he's getting old and doddering.

Seriously, if you had to talk to Boehner or Cantor, wouldn't you avoid them like the plague also?

Yeah,if I was Obama, I'd invite Michelle "Guano-Crazy" Bachmann over to the White House post haste. The tapes of that visit would keep all the boys doubled over with laughter for weeks.

Clearly, a junior staffer wrote that post. She can't complete a sentence.

I thought Minnesota was a "normal" place; how the HELL did she get elected?
