I'm not sure I get your point?

One conservative columnist at the NY Post who thinks Obama deserves most of the blame for the continued partisanship after one month....represents what? Public opinion?

You could have simply posted Limbaugh.

Obama--the grumblings?

Where are the grumblings coming from other than Republicans who are unwilling to budge from their rigid ideology at all (the stimulus plan MUST be mostly tax breaks!) Damn, you got 1/3 of the package in tax breaks - an accommodation by Obama.....(the Democrats are passing the burden on to our kids)....hypocrites...look at your own record and policies that contributed to the mess we're in before you start throwing stones.

All I have heard for the last few weeks is a lot of misrepresentations of the stimulus bill (the mouse, the mouse!) and lots whining when they don't get everything they want.

Suck it up...you're the minority. You have to give a little. In fact, you have to give alot to get a little. That's what it means to be the minority.

But I honestly don't believe the Republicans want to compromise or build consensus. I think they have chosen the strategy of putting all their eggs in the basket that if Obama fails, it will be to their advantage in 2010.
