WASHINGTON President Barack Obama celebrated a bipartisan "season of progress" on Wednesday at a year-end news conference marking an up-and-down second year in office that blended a thrashing at the polls, slow progress on the economy and late victories in Congress.
He forecast struggles over spending in 2011 with Republicans who take control the House, and vowed to try again and pass sweeping immigration legislation that was blocked by GOP critics. "If I believe in something strongly I stay on it," he said.
Obama opened the news conference with a reference to the nuclear arms control treaty with Russia that the Senate ratified earlier in the day on a bipartisan vote. In addition to cutting nuclear weapons and launchers, he said the pact will allow U.S. inspectors to "be back on the ground" in Russia.

We essentially have a one-Party system in place, driven by big donors who control the Agenda.
And the winner is....George Soros!

Has any of the Tea Party groups started work on an official third party for 2012?

In reality there is no such thing as "bipartisanship " in American politics. "Bi" signifies two. For a great number of years America has only one major political party, the Democrat Party,a/k/a the Socialist Party. To fool the idiots,i.e. voters, it is sub divided into two groups, namely, the Democrat Party and Republican Party with the Democrat Party being dominant. Anytime the Democrats are having getting legislation passed or a treaty ratified, they call on the Republican wing and lo and behold enough Republicans join forces with the Democrats to pass the legislation or ratify the treaty.
And the beauty of this scheme is that it works.
