One can throw a rock here and hit an Obama sign, and it's honestly hard some mornings to get behind a car on the freeway that doesn't have an <i>Obama</i> sticker.

In the meantime, since you seem to have no interest of even spending the few seconds it would take to, oh, Google "Obama bipartisan" and find things <a href="http://factbeat.com/get_story.php?id=263" rel="nofollow">like this</a> or <a href="http://obama.senate.gov/press/061211-lugar-obama_bil_1/" rel="nofollow">like this</a> I'll provide those links for you.

In the next six years D'Amato became a vicious anti-Clinton attack dog and lost his re-election bid to Chuck Schumer in 1998. I'm sure various red state Democrats and blue state Republicans have endorsed presidential candidates of the opposing party over the year. I remember reading in Nixon's memoirs that in August 1974 after it came out that he had been flat out lying to both his Republican colleagues and the American people about his involvement in the Watergate scandal, Nixon believed that the only lawmakers he could count own anymore were the Southern Democrats, not the GOP, so he resigned.
