For a candidate who was often written off during the campaign as providing rhetoric without record, one of the remarkable things about Obama’s rise is that he apparently says what he means and means what he says — and he is defining post-partisanship before our eyes.

I have a feeling that parties will play a minor role in the initial years of the Obama presidency as he tries to instill many of his plans and ideals to help fix the economy and begin to point the country in the right direction. With that said, a majority of the representatives in Congress, no matter what party they affiliate with, agree that change needs to occur and since Obama is the "people's President," will agree with a majority of the bills and plans that Obama plans to put into place so as not to anger those who they represent.
ReplyDeleteI would agree with John. I think parties will play a role in the sense that President Obama will have to adjust some of his policies to fit the Republicans needs as well. But otherwise Obama and his staff have done a wonderful job of communicating with Republicans to make sure some of their ideas are considered for their plans in uplifting the economy.
