Bush, Barack, And Bi-Partisanship

The President makes a lot of noise about bi-partisanship and reaching out to the GOP, but does he mean it? And by that, I mean, is he meaningfully attempting to work with the GOP, or is he just talk about it.

The incomparable Keith Hennessey looks at bi-partisanship in the Bush (you remember him--failure, my way or the highway, most divisive figure in American politics) White House and contrasts it with what we've seen so far from the Obama team. The comparison does not reflect well upon The One.

I've said it before and I'll say it again--historians will (in future years) look back on the Bush Presidency in a more positive light than journalists did. What's the word for how Bush got things done? "Strategery!"
