Sullie is right, when people on the left and right were howling on Obama's bipartisan effort, the American people were having none of it. Obama is playing chess and these idiots are playing checkers. He would go to the hill, meet them in meetings, and have one on one talks with them while the cameras are rolling.
Obama knew these ideologues weren't going to play ball so he gave an inch and they took it to a mile. Presto, high approval ratings and the opposition looking like obstructionists during a time of an economic crisis.
To be fair they should have the decency to publicly show the records before she actually ran for office, but this is a good step and now it is time for Bush to disclose his donor list as well.
This is a tradition I will like to see eliminated.
how is adding different perspectives in an administration triangulating? Ultimately the agenda is derived and approved by the President. There will be times where he will want to be progressive, conservative, or liberal in his policies. Group thinking is why Bush is at 20 percent approval rating.
um I have a little secret to tell ya, most Obama supporters don't give a damn if there are Clinton people in an Obama administration, we care about getting bills passed.
Hell I hope he considers moderate Republicans as well.
aww whining already? It is okay you were humiliated beyond belief yesterday so I won't verbally pile on, but this Obama supporter is happy with the decision.
Good decision, put a centrist pit bull who knows his way around congress and has a nack to get bills passed. Obama plays the good guy and Rahm plays the bad guy, perfect combo.

Sorry Sen. McCain, but being angry and arrogant isn't going to win you the presidency.
Congratulations President Obama!
She called out Bill Clinton's stupid rant during the South Carolina primary.

Neither
