I sincerely do not expect bipartisanship. Obama is a true believer who is seeking to push American politics in a irreversibly liberal direction. If he wanted to simply be a leader willing to tackle to most pressing issues, working with those other people elected to government, we would have seen him pursue such an agenda by now.

His campaign was about reducing women to #ladyparts and making sure the minorities (who for whatever reasons overwhelmingly support Democrats) turned out for him, along with pandering to the most informed and experienced members of our society: the youth. It doesn't provide the ingredients for mature policy that appeals to people regardless of their demographics (which I idealistically hope to see one day).

Republicans have failed to make an effort to break the liberal monopoly on blacks and the growing monopoly on hispanics. I do hope that rising stars like Rubio can get the Republican Party on a better track on immigration. Obama has pursued NO immigration reform and somehow he's won on the issue. I continue to believe that the Democratic Party is pushing our country (by dividing and pandering) in a bad direction all while calling for bipartisanship.
