Washington: An Easy Game

Jonathan Martin on Barack's bipartisanship:


Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.), the House Minority Whip, has met with Obama and is in frequent contact with Rahm Emanuel, the House member turned presidential chief of staff, via cell phone and BlackBerry.

“I have met with Rahm and spoken with him several times and he said, ‘Look, you need to understand — working in a bipartisan manner is something the president-elect takes seriously,’” Cantor noted. “It has thus far been a very efficient process.”
Excellent news. We all know that the most important step toward efficiency in government is... talking to one another. Let's just pack it in and call it a term.
