Republicans have one goal: retake control of the White House and Congress.

As in health care, they will make great public promises cooperation and bipartisanship only to back off after months of delays... err... "negotiations", then blame the Democrats for being unreasonable - even when Democrats agree to Republican proposals. Remember Lieberman proposed expanding Medicare - only to back off when Democrats agreed? The end goal is to stall legislation and make Democrats look inept.

The country elected a Democratic President and Congress in 2008 for a reason, and that reason doesn't include advancing a failed Republican agenda.

Even as the president turns up the heat on the GOP, he will continue to reach out to Republicans, asking them to work with him and regularly defining areas - such as offshore drilling, nuclear power, clean-coal production, education reforms and deficit reduction - where cooperation may be possible. This serves two purposes: showing himself the willing conciliator and putting Republicans on the spot.

Dammit! Name names!!! Stop pussyfooting around!

some of those who opposed last year's $787 billion economic stimulus package and who continue to argue that it isn't creating or saving jobs haven't shied away from taking credit back home for projects the legislation paid for. "They've found a way to have their cake and vote against it too," Obama said, naming no one in particular.
