Obama - Post-Partisan Like LBJ Was Post Partisan

Let’s Face It: Obama Is No Post-Partisan - WSJ.com: "here’s nothing inherently wrong with opting to forgo bipartisanship support for the sake of getting your ideas through. That, however, is not what Candidate Obama promised. And just think how the debate would change if the press were to begin describing Mr. Obama in a way that seems reserved for Republicans: a highly partisan president pursuing a narrow partisan agenda."

This is an interesting exposition of how the President, his handlers, and his media flunkies are "dumbing down" the definition of bipartisan.

National Health Care With 51 Votes - WSJ.com:

"Late last week President Barack Obama and Democratic congressional leaders agreed to use 'budget reconciliation' if necessary to jam a massive health-care bill through Congress... this decision is a deeply troublesome attempt to circumvent the normal and customary workings of American democracy...It's a radical departure from congressional precedent, in which budget rules have been designed and used to reduce deficits, not expand the size of government. And it promises bitter divisiveness under an administration that has made repeated promises to reach across the partisan divide."

Make sure your congressional delegation knows how much you oppose this unprecedented expansion of government, being shoved down our throats without even regard for the budgetary rules of Congress. Ask your liberal friends how they plan to pay for it.

Presidential Poison - WSJ.com: "Mark down the date. Tuesday, April 21, 2009, is the moment that any chance of a new era of bipartisan respect in Washington ended. By inviting the prosecution of Bush officials for their antiterror legal advice, President Obama has injected a poison into our politics that he and the country will live to regret."
