IMHO part of being a Statesman is getting along with the Democrats. The President is the President of the United States not just he Republican Party.

Are you suggesting that our President is the President of all the people, not just a certain group?

I'm not saying he shouldn't "get along with the Democrats". I'm saying he shouldn't be trying to score political points by co-opting the issues of the opposing party:

- CFR
- The Farm Bill
- The Education Bill
- Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit
- Others that I can't recall at the moment

That isn't statemanship, that's gamesmanship and I'm sick of it.
