Is Obama making a mistake by not make a bigger effort to see that the stimulus bill is a bipartisan effort?

During the election Obama promised change, specifically change in the way the political system works.

Wouldn’t a big part of this change be to try to get Republicans and Democrats to work together on a stimulus bill at this critical time in our nations history?

Stumping along the lines of what Obama has been recently saying amounts little more than I won the election so I have a mandate from the people so we are going to do what I want to do.

How does that help encourage the Republicans to want to work with Obama?

All of the elected officials — Democrats, Republicans, and Independents — have the mandate of the people that elected them otherwise they would not be holding office.

Obama’s line of reasoning that he has a mandate also forgets that he represents all the people that did NOT vote for him.

Although they might not have voted for him he still has a responsibility to them as well to not squander their tax dollars and to not ignore the law makers that they have duly elected.
