Now Obama Seeks Common Ground?
By Carole on Oct 30, 2010
In his weekly radio address today, President Barack Obama claimed "it's the fundamental responsibility of all who hold elective office to seek out common ground." Then he complained about comments by some of his political opponents and said "we need to put this kind of partisanship aside - win, lose, or draw."

It cites reasons including the 111th Congress' loss of the public's trust "by engaging in unprecedented political procedures to advance a partisan agenda." Not surprisingly, Democrats defeated that resolution.
