Bipartisan Spirit of Obama's Campaign already over?

So much for being bipartisan, huh Barack?
 
 
"You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done," he told top GOP leaders, whom he had invited to the White House to discuss his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package.
 
Give me a break.  So it's okay for the Democrats to listen to the Daily Kos/Moveon.org types, but it's not okay for us to listen to Rush Limbaugh?  It's okay for Democrats to run Al Franken as a genuine senator for Minnesota (I'm not even going to try to explain why Minnesota might even have elected him).  Not to mention the fact that EVERY SINGLE MAJOR NEWS OUTLET less FoxNews was hailing Barack Obama as their savior while bashing President Bush.  What happened to impartiality in news?  I mean, come on, last count for Time Magazine covers featuring Obama in the last year was 16 covers, and that was like 3 weeks ago.  I'm sure it's more like 19 now in the last year.
 
So the only media information that is acceptable is the media information that wants to hump Barack Obama's leg, right?  Any opposing viewpoint is unacceptable?  Is that how I'm supposed to interpret this? 
 
Welcome to Washington, Mr. President.  In the real world, there are folks who actually DON'T want to hump your leg (hard to believe, isn't it?).
 
At first I was hopeful for President Obama's administration, given the moves he made in his cabinet and the folks he included in his inauguration, but it seems that now that he's sitting in the Whitehouse, all of his promises of bipartisanship, and "change" were no more than gimmicks to get himself into office.
 
All Barak Obama cares about now is securing his own re-election and a Democrat majority for decades to come, NOT helping the American People through the most trying economic times in 70 years.  This guy is turning out to be a fraud already, and instead of hopeful, I'm back to being nervous.  If we're not careful here, we're going to turn America into a Socialist nation and we'll never be the same again.
 
Let's all hope this Rush Limbaugh comment was a blip, and that he isn't really serious.
