So I assume then you feel the same way about President Bush. Since he DID exactly what Obama says he will do on day one. The first person invited to the White House was a democrat, and a big one, Senator Ted Kennedy, who drafted the "No Child Left Behind Act" that always gets bitched about and attributed to President Bush. Funny,Obama doesn't go on cable news shows. He does Oprah, etc., but, oh - guess he forgot he was on Fox News Sunday yesterday. That's a cable news show. Funny when Obama says it, it's suddenly new and it's change. But when President Bush did it - it's forgotten.
That was a good start for Bush. Unfortunately he wasn't able to maintain that momentum (and inviting representatives of energy companies to write his energy policy behind closed doors wasn't exactly a great start, in my opinion). Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if Obama failed to maintain bipartisanship too...but I think he has a much better chance to do it than Hillary.
Also, beware. I'm transferring old Birdwell home movies to DVD. Are you sure there isn't any blackmail material there? For example, I didn't look too closely but there was some footage of a young man and woman in skimpy swimsuits jumping from a pier into a lake together. I had a hunch about the identities.

Woo Hoo! Maybe it is me in a skimpy bathing suit. That must have been when I was thin. Can't blackmail me with that - I looked good back then.
