Seriously?!?!? He is willing to listen to both sides, as long as it works with his ideology. There is not a single thing conservative about Obama. That may sound appealing to you, and thats fine with me, but to make the statement that he is bi-partisan is absurd. Just because he says he is bi-partisan over and over and over again does not make it true. He is the most left leaning candidate you have. He speaks well... Very Well, but when you look at his voting record, it was either liberal causes or simply voting "Present". Someone who refuses to vote one way or another when it doesn't fit their agenda is not bi-partisan, its making no decision at all, but saying "I will not vote against you". The only thing worse than a person who makes the wrong decision is a person who doesn't make a decision at all.

Besides, Bi-Partisanship is overrated. Its just each side saying... "If you vote to pass my bill, I will vote to pass your bill regardless of whether I believe it will actually benefit the Country or not." There is no belief in that. Take a stand, stand up for what you believe, carry out what you say, and realize you can't please everyone.
