I have no idea if Nuevo O is here to stay, but I could name a few reasons why it would be a good idea.
1. His base needs a hit.
2. The bipartisan ship has sailed.
3. Neutrality is a nonstarter.
I would advise this new Obama to stick around for a season. I prefer my presidents walking tall, not sleepwalking.
And if Obama is still not understanding that bipartisanship is futile with the current crop of Republican obstructionists, after his many attempts, then hopefully this Fox News poll will wake him up.
…only 18 percent of Republicans said they believed that Obama is trying to reach out to Republicans to compromise and change the climate in Washington, and only 14 percent approved of his job performance.
He tried. It failed. Plan B.

I’m concerned that the prez still hasn’t learned. With all that’s happened this last year, he’s still hoping republicans will play fair. What will it take for him to understand it’ll never happen.
I believe that he should continue his bipartisan exploits. The people have seen him at it for one year but he must be true to his values that he was going to change Washington. He can’t do it on his own and it is only by continually offering an open policy with both Democrats and Republicans that he will do what it takes to fulfill the promise.
The saving grace is persistence and perseverance. If he keeps at it this year and the people see that the other side is not cooperating,what a beautiful tactic to oust them out in November. The worst thing for a politician is not to complete a promise and this promise of bipartisanship is his ace in the hole because somewhere in there,Republicans will see for themselves that their obstructionism is doomed to be a failure and Obama will be white as snow.
Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.
Barack Obama
I am of two minds on this. I do agree with everything Jovial says here but I also think the Republicans master plan is to thwart Obama at every turn, continue their lies, misinformation, hate campaigns so they can come into the upcoming election cycles saying he’s failed to change Washington politics but they certainly will.
Then they will make a show of ‘bipartisanship’ but only for the cameras all the while continuing as they had for the last 8 years and before that. All that will accomplish is driving this country into a gross rich/poor divide and economic collapse which will demoralize the populace.
