How have your attempts at bipartisanship worked so far ?

How can you negotiate with a section of the country that denies facts, rewrites history and lies continuously ?

You had a mandate when you were elected in 2008.

You squandered the chance to hold the Bush administration accountable.

You squandered the chance to prosecute Wall Street thieves.
