Just like the democrats did with George w. Bush blah, blah, blah. Same partisan story. When my side does its ok when the other does its all about undermining the country.
I think your memory of GWB's early time in office is basically fucked and after 9/11, not too many months later, he got unparalelled support from all corners. Bush's first major policiy initiative, the 2001 tax cuts, got support from Democrats in both houses. Obama's first major policy initiative, the Stimulus bill, which was passed in the midst of a major economic crisis garnered 3 Republican votes, one of which was from Specter.
