Wow. That honeymoon didn't last long.

It took less than a month for Barack Obama's White House to sink to the same tired, partisan games that afflicted past administrations. But the new president proved quickly this week that he can be every bit as partisan as Dick Cheney and Karl Rove.
So much for "change."
Obama entered office with an economic crisis that should have been used to unite America. Instead, he and his partisan crew decided to use our pain for their political gain.
President Obama's chief of staff described the White House's mind-set best when he said, "You don't ever want a crisis to go to waste. It's an opportunity to do important things that you would otherwise avoid."
And that is exactly what they did, passing liberal legislation in the stimulus bill that would never pass otherwise.
When GOP Sen. Jon Kyl visited the White House to work with Obama on tax policy, the president quickly let him know that Democrats weren't in the mood to be bipartisan.
"I won," was Obama's response.
I'm sure his jab will cheer left-wing radicals. But for the rest of us, Obama's petulant remark is just a sad reminder of how little things change in Washington.
