3. Obama is Bipartisan. It's called a 78% approval rating
If the GOP leaders want to be in the 22%, let them.

4. Bipartisanship is a means to end, it's not the end itself.
If being bipartisan ultimately gives us better bills and a better country, I'm all for it. Same thing with a high approval rating.

A high approval rating means nothing in a vacuum, it only means something IF it translates into (for example) a really good stimulus bill. And unfortunately I don't know many experts who think that's what we have.

But in the long run we'll see.
