Obama's bogus bipartisanship is laid bare

[Nachum]

Barack Obama floated into the Oval Office on the billowing rhetoric of bipartisan cooperation despite a voting record that pointed to the opposite extreme. A war-weary public preferred rhetoric to reality, his cool promises to his cold practice.

Fourteen months post-inauguration, voters are getting exactly the reality that Mr. Obama's prior public service had foretold. And the rhetoric that so many found hopeful and uplifting has sunk to a snarkier partisanship than that of any president in history.

Unlike some of the Democrats who defied party leadership on the health care bill, Mr. Obama revealed himself once again to be no statesman. That's one lesson from the past historical week.
