An end to bi-partisanship?

2009 came and went and all Obama came out of that was no supporrt from the republicans. He ran his campaign with wanting bi-partisanship so the country can achieve more than what we had done in the last 8 years. He ran on yes we can we can change to build america in a bigger force internationally.
In the last year we saw stimulus bill,the financial bailout,the auto bailout,and the healthcare reform bill. I understand that everyone feels like all of these things look like wasteful spending. But i think americans need to realize what obama had on his plate when coming into office last year.
First of the stimulus bill is working no matter what conservatives are saying. Even as republicans that voted against it are seeing the effects in their community as they reap the benefits of the bill. As republicans talk of fiscal conservatism it is they who brought us the recession with their wasteful spending during their time in the majority. Tax cuts for the rich,two wars which in my point of view only one being started without any real reason other than personal vengeance. After all this they still talk about they want the majority back to lead us back to a recession.
As for the financial bailout i do have mixed feelings about that but i also know that it was needed for our future. We can't let these intitutions fail without any plan on how to survive after that,that is why i support the new financial reform bill because it laids out a plan for these too big too fail banks. It is because of these banks and their decisions to invest in secrecy that put the american people in this recession. I think we should regulate derivatives so that they are more transperant so they are no longer in the dark.
As for the auto bailout i can only say it was needed because i for one i do not want to see general motors going down. What would you have said to the millions of folks that woulkd have lost their jobs due to gm going down. Plus the upside they have paid back their loan so that in itself is great to know that the money was not a waste.
Then health care reform was done which was truly needed in a country that premiums skyrocket every year. What i really like about the bill is that no one can be denied because of a pre-existing condition that wouldserve a lot of sick folks great.I know the fight for reform was bigger than anticipatedbut i think in the end it will help more than the one's who we're against it.
Now after listening to obama attack the republicans this past thursday i feel he is doing the best thing to help his congressmen. In my honest opinion i think he should have done that since before the healthcare bill was up for passage. I understand he was looking for bi-partisan support but the righties were all about obstructionism instead of offering ideas towards better legislation but instead they were just saying no to everything.
