Post-partisan foolishness

I keep hearing people say that Obama (if he wins) will have to reach across the aisle to work with Republicans. See here for an example.

It works both ways, people. Republicans will have to reach across that putative aisle too. Somehow I don't think that's gonna happen with the Tom Coburns and James Inhofes of the world.

I expect to see Republican obstructionism at its absolute worst if Obama wins. Don't forget that as of December of last year Coburn had 95 holds on various bills in the Senate, ostensibly because he objects to spending money on the projects enumerated in those bills.

That ain't gonna stop even if Obama wins and the Democrats get to 60 in the Senate.
