I was just watching CNN money and they were complaining about how un-bipartisan Obama is.

They all were upset that Obama was going his own way without offering any concessions to the GOP.
Obama is splitting the country in two, according to them.

They also mentioned that the Bush administration created many bipartisan bills.

"Why couldn't they put in just one small thing that both sides could agree to."

The main complainer was Stephen Leeb.

-- Sheesh.

10. I'm sure you know corporate press complicit in 2000 steals .. .?

and, possibly long before that --

The large computers used by corporate press began to come in during the mid-1960's . . .

thadt gave them the ability not only to report vote totals, but to PREDICT votes, to

CALL elections for candidates -- and to CALL states for candidates.

The individual electronic voting machines began to come in during the late-1960's,

coincidentally just about the time we were passing The Voting Rights Act.

Two journalists began investigating computer fraud in Florida in the late 1960's ...

their book is still on line --

4. CNN is almost totally unwatchable.

I imagine they didn't mention all the Republican amendments in the stimulus bill that resulted in 3 Republican votes. You can't have bipartisanship if only 1 side wants to play.

11. I think most of us understand . . .

the complicity of the corporate press in the 2000 and 2004 elections . . .

but, there is evidence that the steals have been going on much longer --

12. Big Duh. The MSM is NEVER going to help a Dem President.

Hopefully, some eyes on DU will open about why he's building this reserve of ATTEMPTED "bipartisanship".

He knows the MSM will carry the GOP's water when, right on cue, they start with the hypocritical bitching about the lack of bipartisan consensus being the President's fault when the Congressional GOP wants nothing more than to sink his efforts by opposing him.
