[lbo-talk] Obama's post-partisanship

[Doug Henwood]

[from Obama's victory speech last night - the Clinton's may have been  
cynical and hypocritical in their criticism of Obama, but this bit is  
pure horseshit]

We're up against decades of bitter partisanship that cause  
politicians to demonize their opponents instead of coming together to  
make college affordable or energy cleaner. It's the kind of  
partisanship where you're not even allowed to say that a Republican  
had an idea, even if it's one you never agreed with. That's the kind  
of politics that is bad for our party, it is bad for our country, and  
this is our chance to end it once and for all.
