What Happened to Bipartisanship?

Right out of Washington Post today it says:

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama urged Congress Wednesday to vote “up or down” on sweeping health care legislation in the next few weeks, endorsing a plan that denies Senate Republicans the right to kill the bill by stalling with a filibuster.

In our president's so-called bipartisanship aren't the republicans supposed to have a say too? I agree with the president, another year of negotiations will do nothing, if they keep arguing like they have been. This isn't one-sided; no one side has the right solution. They need to get everyone's opinion and combined a solution that will actually help the American people. Maybe, for once, Congress should actually listen to the everyday Americans, not the "experts." You never know, it could help.

What the hell! The president talks about being bipartisanship and then turns around and endorses the democratic leaders of congress to put regulations on the republicans. I am pretty sure that will do nothing to help anyone out Mr. President.

No, there needs to be a true bipartisanship. The country needs both conservative and liberal to run properly. One or the other running congress doesn't do anyone any good. I think that people need to see that both sides of the argument are important. They both need to be heard and they both need to be used. It's called compromise people.
