Reactions to the State of the Union: Tear Down the Fences
By Scott W. Alten - AOL News"We will move forward together or not at all -- for the challenges we face are bigger than party and bigger than politics." Truer words were never spoken. So long as politicians are more concerned with party than with people, our government is doomed to stagnate. Politicians should strive to promote good ideas, regardless of their origins. Their primary responsibility is to represent the people, not just the people in their party or the people who voted for them, and certainly not just the people who financed their campaign. President Barack Obama's call for unity and bipartisan politics ...
Reactions to the State of the Union: A Welcome Bipartisan Tone
By Shauna Nicole - AOL NewsThe one thing that stood out to me was witnessing the Republicans and Democrats sitting side by side, which is a rare occurrence at the State of the Union. The "date night" at the speech set a tone of togetherness even before the speech started. This togetherness was the foundation for President Obama's speech. He stated that "no matter who we are, we are a part of an American family. We are bound as one." He said it is imperative for both parties to work together in order to rebuild the economy. To see both Republicans and Democrats standing up and clapping in agreement showed me that both ...
State of the Union: Obama Calls Investment in Innovation 'Our Sputnik Moment'
By Alex Wagner - Politics DailyPresident Obama outlined an ambitious plan Tuesday to "win the future," urging renewed investment in American technology, infrastructure and education, while simultaneously calling for a more streamlined federal government and a reduction of the deficit. In his State of the Union speech to a joint session of Congress -- some of whose members crossed the aisle in a symbolic show of bipartisanship -- Obama emphasized a common purpose and a shared future. "We will move forward together, or not at all," he said, "for the challenges we face are bigger than party, and bigger than politics." Early ...

Capitol Hill Breastfeeding: Can 'Boob Cubes' Boost Bipartisanship?
By Joanne Bamberger - Politics DailyNetworking in non-traditional settings is nothing new for women. When our husbands think we're just hanging out with the girls or managing the soccer game and birthday party schedules for our kids, we know that those relationships can be, and usually are, much more than just lost time. So when I read a recent New York Times story about women on both sides of the political aisle taking advantage of Capitol Hill lactation rooms, I thought that these so-called "boob cubes" could be one small step, if not the key, to the new American bipartisanship. There was no such thing as a congressional ...
Obama: Problems of 2011 Will Require Bipartisanship
By Joseph Schuman - AOL NewsA bloody political year behind him, President Barack Obama kicked off 2011 today with a call for Republicans and Democrats in a newly divided Congress to work together to bolster an economy still on shaky ground. "At the start of 2011, we're still just emerging from a once-in-a-lifetime recession that's taken a terrible toll on millions of families. We all have friends and neighbors trying to get their lives back on track," Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address. "In a few days, a new Congress will form, with one house controlled by Democrats, and one house controlled by ...
Our Year of Zombie Politics
By James Grady - Politics DailyWait: Even in politics, 2010 was the year of zombies? Sure, the hot new wonky tome "Zombie Economics" tells how "dead" economic theories walk among us to shape our paychecks, and sure, zombies lumber out of our TVs almost no matter what channel we click to, and sure, my fellow fantasy prose-slingers are flinging new novels about the undead at the dust of Stephen King and George Romero, but zombies as a metaphor for 2010's politics? Come on! What happened to vampires? Vampires are a great political metaphor! Bloodsuckers. Say no more. But zombies? Who are they in America's 2010 ...

Obama Urges Continued Bipartisanship: 'We Are Not Doomed to Endless Gridlock'
By Alex Wagner - Politics DailyOn the heels of one of the most productive post-election sessions of Congress in recent history, President Obama on Wednesday evening urged lawmakers to continue working in a spirit of bipartisanship when the new House and Senate reconvene next month. Noting that lawmakers in both chambers had defied expectations, he called the lame-duck session, which ended Wednesday, "a season of progress for the American people." The new Congress convenes on Jan. 5. The president ticked off a list of legislative victories, highlighting the tax-cut package brokered with senior GOP leadership, the repeal of ...
