| Obama calls for bipartisan cooperation on Capitol Hill |
| 2010-11-26 |
| (KUNA) -- US President Barack Obama on Thursday called for bipartisan cooperation from US lawmakers on economic recovery and US military efforts abroad. "Bipartisan" means he gets his way. "We come together and do what's required to make tomorrow better than today. That's who we are. That means supporting the nation's soldiers and working together to help spur faster economic recovery from the recession," he said in a weekly national address marking the annual Thanksgiving holiday. "We won't do it as any one political party. We've got to do it as one people. And in the coming weeks and months, I hope that we can work together, Democrats and Republicans and Independents alike, to make progress on these and other issues." Refering to an earlier meeting with congressional leaders from both parties, Obama said it was time for "a real and honest discussion, because I believe that if we stop talking at one another and start talking with one another, we can get a lot done." |

| #8 I agree with all the comments. The problem is he has no intention of changing. When he first ran I said if he won he would be in for eight years. The infamous Rino's now will undercut everything the people have voted for. The will of the people means nothing to this group in Washington or the media. Impeach and recall are the only things we can do now to stop this train wreck. The world economy is on the verge of default. You can't drag down a powerhouse of consumerism like the USA and expect nothing to happen elsewhere. |

| #6 Bambi's call begs for a response, but I don't think that "you first, you lying, treasonous Marxist crapweasel" would fill enough column space in the WaPo... |

| #4 Whatever presumption of good faith Mr. Obama had upon becoming President has been destroyed by his actions and the actions of his party. Socializing US health care using deem-and-pass is not a great way to build trust with the electorate. |
