Economy of Rhetoric

Our President surely goes out of his way to make sure that bipartisan agreements can become a practice in the way Washington do business. However, I am not sure if that would be possible at all. When we are a country where the two major political parties are constanly at odds over certain issues, then it becomes difficult to agree on things. I do have faith in the president but i find it very difficult to believe thatthe left and the right can find a central ground that will benefit the country.

Moving Forward

We all have seen the gorvernor of Illinois appoint Burris to be the next junior senator from Illinois. Now a problem occurs in which the democrat leaders refuse to seat Burris. This problem would result in the people of Illinois not having a voice in the United States Senate.
What I mean is that I am disappointed in the methods of the left, or even the whole political spectrum. The Democrats refuse to organize a special election to declare a senator simply because they fear that a republican will win the seat. Why do they need to feel compelled to deny the citizens of Illinois a voice. President-Elect Barack Obama need all of the vote he can get to pass the stimulus package next month and we have at least two or three senate seats that are still vacant.
When will we get pass this party line and truly do what is right for the nation?
