Yo, Axelroid, you ignorant pile of excrement, the only hand the president has extended to the GOP looks like this, and that is NOT what a hand of cooperation looks like:

As Barack Obama marks one year since his historic election, one of the architects of his campaign acknowledges the president has not forged the post-partisan atmosphere that he had hoped to achieve. Senior Adviser David Axelrod said the president "is not a magician. You don't with a wave of a wand make everything different."
The top White House aide said while the president has "extended a hand of cooperation, some in the other party made a political decision that isn't in their interest." Speaking with CBS Radio News, Axelrod was hard-pressed to specify areas of cooperation with Republicans on any major issues. He pointed to relatively easy areas including national service and child health care.
But on the tough issues including health care reform he noted, "There's an awful lot of pressure from the right wing of the Republican party that has made it more difficult for moderate Republicans to step forward." The longtime Democratic strategist said, "I don't think being in the opposition on every major issue is a winning formula for the Republican Party."
Axelrod insists that except for being "a little grayer," the president has not changed. He said the president is still the man described as "no drama Obama." He noted Mr. Obama "never gets too high or too low." Reflecting on Oval Office pressures, Axelrod said, "When you're making decisions that deal with life and death and decisions of the magnitude any president has to deal with particularly in difficult times, it carries burdens that impact on you in ways you probably don't even realize..."
Asked why polls often indicate his boss is more popular than administration policies, Axelrod said Mr. Obama is governing in a very difficult time that has required some "not popular but necessary decisions." ...

Dear Lord
Axelrod is a bigger liar than the POS odumbo
People know better.
'I won.'
LOL. The Dems have overwhelming control over Congress yet they can’t pass the WH agenda. Instead Joseph Goebbels (aka David Axelrod) blames the Reps. The real bipartisanship involved with Obama’s policies is the opposition.
He's a LIAR and there is nothing in his past that indicates him reaching across the aisle.
Keep talking...keep talking...
This stuff will make great ads.
Axlebutt is a Idiot what American wants to play patty cake with Communists and worse?
Basically this president said we won and we get whatever we want, I think partisanship is right out the window. Obama can kiss my ....!!!!!
Hey Axe!
He COULD start by unlocking the door and letting Republicans join the conversation!
Instead BO uses PLO tacticts, and refuses to talk if Republicans don’t anti up a bucket of concessions, just to get into the room!
"Another way of putting it is when, you know, I'm busy and Nancy is busy with our mop cleaning up somebody else's mess -- we don't want somebody sitting back saying, you're not holding the mop the right way. Why don't you grab a mop, why don't you help clean up. You're not mopping fast enough. That's a socialist mop. Grab a mop -- let's get to work. "

Oh, you mean this kind of bipartisan spirit, Mr. Axelrod?
Zero has NO intention of attempting bi-partisanship
...with the middle finger extended.
An equivalent to this tripe would be something like Hitler complaining about how he alone couldn’t bring bipartisanship with the Bolsheviks/Communists in Moscow.
It is THAT phony.
Hey Axelsmack, what goes around - comes around and now you are reaping the great rewards for what YOU and you Commie Boss have been sowing.
Eat up buddy, because there’s ONE HELL of ALLOT of the same coming your way VERY soon.
Obama alone is tearing this country apart.
1st step to bipartisanship. Don’t hold closed door meetings that exclude Republicans.
2nd step to bipartisanship. Don’t attack a news sattion just because it has a different viewpoint.
3rd step to bipartisanship. Get rid of Nancy Pelosi. She doesn’t want it.
“When pressed Axelrod could not come up with situations where the White House has reached out to republicans.” Priceless.
Obama's philosophy is simple -WWPD What Would Pelosi Do?
Like Obama, Axelrod is a radical socialist who hates capitalism and traditional America. Lying is second nature to both.

This is a joke...right?
The=they, darn spell check.
Ritilin?

The Dems in congress are scared to death of what will likely happen when they pass Obama’s agenda. They are political pros & they resent taking direction from the amateur squatting in the White House.
Obama now knows he must have the sell out to pass Health Care.
WE DO NOT WANT A REDUCTION IN OUR FREEDOMS. PASS THAT POS DEMOGRAPHIC WARFARE HEALTH CARE BILL, AND YOU WILL HAVE A CIVILLY DISOBEDIENT MIDDLE CLASS!!
OBAMA NEEDS TO STOP BEING AN IDEOLOGUE, AND MUST COMPROMISE HIS SOCIALIST AGENDA.
YES HE CAN DO IT ALONE. THATS WHAT PRESIDENTS DO.(OH I FORGOT! OBAMA IS ONLY A PRETEND PRESIDENT!)
( Sorry For Yelling!)
““When pressed Axelrod could not come up with situations where the White House has reached out to republicans.” Priceless.”
The recently released list of WH visitors shows John Edwards visiting twice during the past year (not to mention Jeremiah Wright and other leftist radicals). If the WH reached out to Republican leaders in Congress, one would expect their names to show up on the list. Gibbs should be asked to explain why a discredited philanderer merited more face time with the president than Republican leaders in Congress.
We can have bi-partisanship, Democrat-style, if the Republicans just completely surrender. What’s wrong with those Republicans anyway?
First Axelrod should provide us with a list showing how many Republican members of Congress Zero has invited to the White House to discuss issues that are important to him. Give us the names, the dates that they were invited, and the topics discussed.
Secondly, Zero should summon Pelosi and Reid to the White House and publicly (before the media cameras) and strongly suggest to both of them that they immediately begin include the minority party in all legislative deliberations. No more locked doors and smoke filled back rooms in the hallowed halls of the House and Senate.
Then Zero’s rhetoric about being in favor of bipartisanship may have some meaning. Until this is done, it is nothing but another of his bald faced lies. His lies are now almost to many to list.
