The buzzword for 2011, at least so far, seems to be bipartisanship, with America's "reds" and "blues" both promising cooperation and civility. However, history dictates it won't last. Responses from Congress and President Obama to the tragic shootings in Tucson, Ariz., earlier this month were commendable. The assassination attempt on ... [Read More…]

Both are under the guidance of embattled leaders who ... [Read More…]
