acting so very "bi partisan" in the last weeks ?

This WH and congress for one year were about the most partisan political administration we have seen in years, AND NOW...the President is speaking bipartisan talk (Probably suggested by those wonderful advisors..Axlerod and Emanuel..you know those TRUE and solid bi partisan folks who serve as the main advisors to our President) !

Interesting read today in National Review on this subject...

"Suddenly, bipartisanship is all the rage at the Obama White House.

The president has announced that he will hold a bipartisan gathering on February 25 at Blair House, across the street from the White House, in an effort to get the health-care legislative effort out of the political ditch it is now in. Plans are also under way to stand up a bipartisan Debt Commission by executive order. The commission’s mandate would be to report back to the president and Congress on how to get the nation’s fiscal house in order — with a rather convenient reporting deadline of just after the November midterm elections.

In the daily back-and-forth of political news coverage, it is easy to lose sight of what a stunning turnabout this renewed interest in bipartisanship represents for Barack Obama. For more than a year, his administration attempted to govern based on an entirely different approach. The Democrats in the White House and on Capitol Hill welcomed any Republican willing to jump aboard their legislative plans. But, as the president and his top advisers repeatedly said, they were going to move ahead with “their agenda” — with or without willing Republican participation."

I recall this President as a candidate saying things...and in fact made a point of talking bipartisanship in his first ever news conference as President !

By the way, what ever happened to Presidential news conferences ?
