Will Obama reach across the aisle? If so will Congress accept that hand?

I'm curious why Obama has to reach across the aisle? Why don't you suggest that the Republicans reach across the aisle?

I'm curious as to why that is even an issue for you. That's the partisan thinking that has this country in the fix it's in. As to why Obama? Because he's the president. He SHOULD lead.

But now it seems like you want Obama to bend to the Republican agenda and abandon his own.
My confidence is low. The Republicans will do whatever they can to throw a monkey wrench in the machinery. The mission now is the White House in 2012. They're not likely to do much that might put Obama in a positive light, or allow him to spin anything as his accomplishment.
This is a dangerous game, and can easily backfire. If the Dems can point to the Reps as progress impeding bad guys, the Democrats could regain the majority and reelect Obama.

The Democrats have on way of screwing up. If they bend to the Republicans and allow the Republicans to control the agenda and work with them to pass the Republicans agenda...the Dems are screwed.
What if the Republicans ideas on certain issues is what is good for the country? That's my point.
The people are going to keep a close eye on the next 2 years to see who's going to work for THEM, not a party. Like I said, a historic opportunity. Who's going to make the most of it?
For the sake of the country, I don't think anyone cares who reaches where.
