Define Bipartisan
Merrian Webster: “of, relating to, or involving members of two parties bipartisan commission>; specifically: marked by or involving cooperation, agreement, and compromise between two major political parties <bipartisan support for the bill>”
Obama defines it as: the other party will agree with me and give me everything I want and I will call it a bipartisan compromise. You will give me higher taxes and more borrowing power and it will be good until after the next Presidential election and I will call it bipartisan.
It is as though Obama has been reading Gerard Baker’s column from The Times; “He ventured forth to bring light to the world.” It is as though he does have the messiah complex from that column. Proving the point of bipartisanship today after holding a press conference President Obama began attacking republicans using his twitter account.
Proving the point of bipartisanship today after holding a press conference President Obama began attacking republicans using his twitter account. This was his first tweet “The time for putting party first is over. If you want to see a bipartisan #compromise, let Congress know. Call. Email. Tweet. —BO” At that point his campaign must have taken over and started in on the republicans they have yet to tweet to any democrats.
Senate
The extra super overly extreme left and extreme far left have been at it in the Senate hoping to pick up the support of the moderate left. There is no indication yet if Boxer and Reid will be able to get McCain to sign on to their magic fairy dust plan yet.
The Harry Reid lead Senate, has yet to put forward anything of real subsistence except the statement that the House Bill is dead on arrival. This should not be a shock as under Harry Reid’s leadership the Senate has not been able to produce a budget in over 800 plus days. The only thing that McCain has managed to do is hack off the TEA Party.

Now what McCain said he was quoting is from the Wall Street Journal, JULY 27, 2011, “The GOP’s Reality Test.”
“But what none of these critics have is an alternative strategy for achieving anything nearly as fiscally or politically beneficial as Mr. Boehner’s plan. The idea seems to be that if the House GOP refuses to raise the debt ceiling, a default crisis or gradual government shutdown will ensue, and the public will turn en masse against . . . Barack Obama. The Republican House that failed to raise the debt ceiling would somehow escape all blame. Then Democrats would have no choice but to pass a balanced-budget amendment and reform entitlements, and the tea-party Hobbits could return to Middle Earth having defeated Mordor.”
House
Boehner, bless his heart, has been trying to do something. What he should do is tell the democrats that they need to put up a plan that the President supports and send it to the House. If the House sends many more bills to the Senate the Capital building might tilt over. Besides it is time that the democrats had a chance to go on record voting for something. At least if it comes out of the Senate they cannot add any new taxes to the bill.
