President Obama has adopted a new kind of bipartisanship -- daring Republicans to offer their policy views so that he can discredit them.
You might call it punching-bag bipartisanship. The president and his party believe that by eliciting Republican policy ideas they can remind Americans how much they hate the GOP.
Obama now says he is not going to let Republicans "sit on the sidelines" while Democrats are stuck trying to solve problems.
It's a big shift from last year, when his theme in dealing with the GOP was summed up in a favorite line from his stump speech for Democratic candidates: "I don't want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking."
The Left believes voters have soured on Democrats because Americans have forgotten the awfulness of GOP policies.
In truth, voters tossed out the GOP because of arrogance, incompetence and corruption. It was not the policy, it was the people.

Obama said he could fix everything during the campaign , He never invited the Republicans to the table before so why now ? I'll tell you so he can focus his attack on their ideas while he slips his agenda by us with the MSM providing screen .
I think Limbaugh has it right.
Obama is angry because for the first time in his life, he is actually being held accountable for his actions.
There is no Professor that is going to change his grade from a D to an A while he's President.
Obama has grown up believing he's something special because he has been pushed along, and in reality, he's far below mediocre
He really knows how to speak , with those ears you would think he could hear. He doesn't hear anything.

There you go with Limbaugh talk. So he was never held accountable before? Please explain. And way out of left field is the grade comment. Do you even know what you are talking about? And I believe the position of President of the United States is special.
"And I believe the position of President of the United States is special"
Me too! That is why Barry should not be there. He got elected due to flaws in a process that allowed this to happen. Now we are experiencing the pain of that.

Flaws in the process? Oh you mean the fiasco down in Florida in 2001! So Barry is George W, that doesn't make much sense.

He was never held accountable because in liberal land everyone gets the same good grade regardless of the performance.
Obama, has no history.
Where are his college transcripts? How did he get in to Harvard
Who authored his book?
Obama was one of the "special" people that has spent his life having someone else correct his mistakes, take his tests for him, and has always been given a pass.
You would think that a "Constitutional" Professor would know something about the constitution, but BHO sure doesn't.
Did you see his speech yesterday in front of the corpseman?
Obama has been manufactured and protected by the lefties all his life, but they can't cover for him anymore and the real Obama is showing through!

Please speak in facts. That is what the rest of us do and it gets pretty tiring arguing with insanity. So people took his tests for him, he was just passed to pass, and no liberals ever have to answer for their actions. Paging the right wing nut, you are crazy.
