Common sense.
I do find it humorous you will look for brown for keep his promise on working across party lines yet you give a free pass to Obama? That was one of the keystones of his campaign, along with a new Washington and transparency, all of which he has failed to deliver on or even acknowledge.

I am well aware that it was the middle of the pack guys in Mass that voted him in. I want to see if he stays that way in DC!! I was referring to the farther right in his own party.
I have not given Obama a 'free pass' and a few threads back said I was glad this killed the HC bill.. this was not the format we need right now. I do think the bi-partisan stuff is on both sides, and is not just limited to the White House right now. We need more 'purple' and less red and blue from both sides! I look for this to be the kick in the ass to become more populist and less far left!
