For the umpteenth day in a row, Obama is out today announcing that Democrats have tried to cooperate with Republicans, but the GOP have refused to act in a bipartisan manner. It is amazing that Obama, whose party has about 60% of the votes in both the House and Senate could even say this stuff with a straight face. Obamacrats do not need the GOP to pass most bills -- just look at health care which passed the Senate and the House over strong opposition from the American people, only to die when Scott Brown took Ted Kennedy's seat from the Dems. Nevertheless, Obama is still spouting this nonsense. It is a tribute to the low opinion in which Obama holds the people that he can even bring himself to take this position.
The sad thing is that Obama could easily make up much of his lost support by actually putting forth his hand in an effort to cooperate with Republicans. There are many people who would be so enthusiastic to see someone in Washington actually attempting cooperation that the jump in support would be large. The truth, however, is we got no change and that means there is no hope.
