Just got the transcript of Robert Gibbs' daily briefing, and I'm liking this definition of bipartisanship:MR. GIBBS: He's reaching out to people that I think have demonstrated -- I saw some of Senator Collins's remarks on one of the cable channels earlier today, and she said she'd had a good conversation with the President. And the President had, in some ways, convinced her that we needed a package that met the size and the scope of our problems.I think that's bipartisanship. I think a Democratic President talking to a Republican senator and getting some agreement on strengthening the package and moving it along in a size that denotes the scope of the challenges that Americans face economically, challenges that we're reminded of each and every day, the President believes that's the best approach for moving this package forward.
Someone once told me that in Washington there are two types of bipartisanship. Either the other guy gets you to do what he wants or you get the other guy to do what you want.
