Comments on: Could Obama’s courting GOP a turning point? http://dodgeretort.com/general/obamas-courting-gop-a-turning-point Tech, Media and other interesting stuff Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:56:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: RAGO http://dodgeretort.com/general/obamas-courting-gop-a-turning-point/comment-page-1#comment-646 RAGO Sat, 30 Jan 2010 23:27:32 +0000 http://dodgeretort.com/?p=1156#comment-646 Viewing this from ground level, what I hope we are seeing is Obama finally becoming his own man--rather than look to Pelosi and company for what they want him to be. He needs to start pushing back equally on both Democrats and Republicans to implement bipartisan solutions. If Obama can be open to fiscally responsible social programs, elimination of his bias toward favoring the unions with special deals, and scaling back the growth of govt. and govt. employee entitlements then, yes, there is hope of cooperation. I happen to think that Scott Brown can be part of the solution. I met him in Newburyport in July before anyone knew who he was. He is as down to earth in person as he appears on TV and will strive for bipartisan solutions that are best for everyone.
