How can you be bipartisan and only get 3 votes from the other side? I'm concerned that President Obama is quickly abandoning the promises he ran on to get elected and is now allowing anything and everything desired by the democratic party. What does President Obama intend on doing to ensure that this money is spent responsibly and to reach across the isle to truly be a leader of the entire US, and not just thtop 5 most populous cities?
