C&L has an article this morning about some thing spoken of here today.

Presidential Respect

Ayep, that’s what I’ve found myself snickering at time and again, arguments that the President is responsible for the level of partisan hostility in D.C. politics and that peace would somehow reign if only he’d just accept that the GOP is right. Of course, it’s never made that obvious, but the argument is almost always that he just needs to give up on whatever he wants to see happen and reach some “bipartisan” agreement that mirrors exactly what the GOP wants.
