I've been impressed by the Democratic Party's attempts at bipartisanship led by the first U.S. President I've ever called "my President" but the Republicans have made it clear that they aren't having it and it's time to start making them pay for their obstinence and ill will.

I think an important first step would be removing all concessions made to gain bipartisan support for a health care bill and to refocus on the wishes of those who put Obama in office.

Some of my readers may recall that when Ronald Reagan came into office he clearly stated that he was not the President for all Americans, only for those who supported him, and the sheep applauded. Multiple Bush regimes have made it clear that such a perspective is status quo for the Republican Party.

It's time to take off those white dress gloves, President Obama, and lead your people into battle.
