A Fresh Start

Gonna end the partisan bickering.

Sounds familiar.

Oh yeah –

Here’s a little snippet from GWB, from his first debate with Al Gore in 2000:

It’s time for a fresh start. It’s time for a new look. It’s time for a fresh start after a season of cynicism.

… I also want to go to Washington to get some positive things done. It is going to require a new spirit. A spirit of cooperation. It will require the ability of a Republican president to reach out across the partisan divide and to say to Democrats, let’s come together to do what is right for America.

Plus ca change…

Update: Cooperation requires some give from both sides, otherwise, it’s called enabling. If one side does all the giving, it’s called dysfunctional. Sometimes it’s necessary to stand firm.
