It's a Start
David Axelrod:
"You can’t make a strategic decision to sit on the sidelines and root for failure and then say the President’s not being bipartisan. This President has reached out time and time again.
...We mistakenly believed that in the midst of a crisis that both parties would come together and the Republicans would come together and say "this is a time of national crisis, we want to work with you where we can."
And as you read, since you obviously read the New York Times, the piece on Mitch McConnell telling his caucus, before the President even took office, that we’re not going to cooperate with him on anything because we think if he fails, we win.
That’s not a good prescription for the country."
Great. Now, say things like this every day for the next ten years or so, and maybe we'll get somewhere in this country.
