    One of the first comments after the article says--

    Trying to be bipartisan with Republicans is much harder than with Democrats. This article proves that Bush era Democrats were bipartisan with Republicans, not that Republicans were bipartisan with Democrats. Otherwise the Democrats would have been that era's Party of No.

    George W. Bush worked with Ted Kennedy. Name a major bill where Barack Obama co-sponsored legislation with a conservative member of the Republican caucus.

    Is Obama even able to co-sponsor legislation as the President?

    More to the point, Kennedy felt Bush screwed him on NCLB and regretted working with him. Hardly a high-water mark for bipartisanship.

    Well, he was a senator for six years--I imagine he had ample opportunity to sponsor bills during that span.

    I don't think he served his full 6 year term - he got out after 4 years for good behavior.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Nice try. Find a non-RINO whom Obama has worked with.

    A non-RINO is someone who would never help advance Obama's socialist agenda.
