America needs bipartisanship
Bob Mcclellan | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 11 years, 10 months AGO
It must be very frustrating to the Republican Party to have a fellow such as Barack Obama as president and present head of the Democratic Party.
It seems that their frustration has grown to such ludicrous proportions, and the fact that they are not able to “lay a glove” on Obama has caused such anger, that they are willing to actually put rejection of all Obama’s ideas, put total partisan politics ahead of duty, put America at risk, and put all this ahead of attempting to move our nation forward both domestically and globally.
Well, let’s see what the next few years will bring. But unless attitudes in Washington D.C. change from willful attack and fear to wisdom and cooperation, we are in for a very rocky ride in my view.
I do believe part of the answer lies with us, with “we the people,” being willing to speak out for sensible and forward thinking bipartisan legislating, which is so necessary for “America the Beautiful.”

Letter: Change has to come from the people, not the government
Regardless of our political views, here are some questions in my opinion we each should think about, discuss among ourselves, and look at as we consider whether we live or die as a democracy, as an empowered nation, and as a free people.
Acting from our 'better selves'
The craziness that is going on, not only in America, but all over the world seems way beyond reason. The list is long and well known. What is important, in my opinion, is some recognition of what it is going to take to change the human condition.
Real change comes from the inside out
This morning I tuned into “Meet the Press” with Chuck Todd as the new moderator. In one segment he had invited the mayors of Pittsburg, Tacoma, and Oklahoma City to share their stories of coming from the depths of despair to vitality. One was a Democrat, one a Republican and one an Independent. Despite their political views, they each spoke with a similar attitude, focus and vision.
