there is a time and place to attempt to be bipartisan and part of the reason I voted for President Obama is, after going through what we went through with "Bush the Decider", I was eager to have a President willing to try to work on unifying the country to deal with the challenges left behind by Bush's "Reign of error" and other things neglected by politicians in DC for a long time. However, there is a time and place where you have to stand and fight- like the point where we are at right now. I don't hear many (any?) voices calling for Democrats to back down and capitulate to Republicans right now and President Obama has certainly stopped mincing words as well.
