And I'm not sure if this accurate, to be honest, but let me know if either Bush held over a Dem Cabinet member like Obama did a Republican...I'll You Tube Bush's "Reach Out" speech in case you guys forgot it.

If you had read the link your memory of the legislation that Bush got done that was bi partisan would have been refreshed. Biparisan means that it has support from both sides of the aisle, maybe not equal support but more than what has been advanced in 2009. The "Democrats were elected and they get to do whatever they want" argument is a far cry from what was promised to help get the Democrats elected.
Seriously are you going to use the token cabinet member as a show of bipartisan support? That's all you got? Yeah that transportation dept is a vital bipartisan office now. Of course he couldnt find anybody further left in picking his other posts like the fraud who is incharge of the Dept of Labor.
Hey when he has to face a Congress without a majority after the 2010 elections we will see how friendly Obama gets with the other side.
