Brian Williams, perhaps one of the greatest of Americans, thinks so. In a thrilling speech to the graduating class of GWU, he laments terrible division that is making politics destructive and unworkable in this country. Hopefully, his moving words will reach beyond the ears of young persons heading out into the real world. Hopefully, his inspiration will reach their heart and motivate them to bring forth a greater, more honest American than what we've seen over the last decade. God bless you Brian Williams.
"Our politics are broken," he told the graduating class at George Washington University. "Remember, there'd be no constitution in this country without compromise. We wouldn't have been formed without compromise. Going without compromise makes you a highly principled person, but it can often lead us to a government that is not attuned to the needs of the people."
Oh and Bob Scheiffer said something similar somewhere.

Brian Williams is irrelevant, and so are you.
I love you Wiggy! There I've said it. I can only hope that you feel the same way.

But seriously, let Asher use the login more often. You're not really doing it right.

Who could forget the time Brian Williams dutifully brought his camera crew into Obama's limo to follow him around as he bought a burger at Five Guys, then did a full report on how the president was really a man of the people who eats fast food just like the rest of us. He is a patsy, a useful idiot, he has no integrity, he has no ratings, and if I were a flight attendant I would tell both of you that we are all out of pillows and then make a point of giving extra pillows to the people behind you.
I wept during that story.

Hay guys the president even takes lunch orders for his staff!
Let's just ignore the fact that, during that same visit, the president made it very clear he had no idea what the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency was. Even though it's an agency he oversees in the Department of Defense.
Integrity
He didn't even do the John Kerry thing and go to a yacht club to get catering afterwards!

Brian Williams talks and acts like a broken robot on loan from the Chinese.
He also still can't get over Hurricane Katrina.

So you're jealous because he gets to ride around in the President's limo and you don't?

I would be very interested in knowing why Brian Williams also failed to point out why the president was not wearing a seatbelt, in violation of D.C. law.
OK, this one was too easy.

Without a doubt, yes. 97% of all bills and appointments have been filibustered by Republicans including bills Republicans campaigned on and said they supported. Obama has done everything short of bending over and letting them **** him in the ass to try to get them to work with him yet he's gotten nothing. The few appointments he's some how got them to actually give votes on pass 95 votes to 5 or greater, so it's not like those appointments were ever controversial, yet they have blocked them for 3.5 years anyway.

Asher has never logged into my account, idiots.
The only thing Asher has done in the last four years is get fatter and balder.
Apparently Brian Williams is a complete ignoramus and knows nothing of political fighting for the first 200 years of the USA. And apparently the rest of the spineless libs know even less than he, as they laud him as such an astute observer.

our national debt is a testament to compromise

I fear the consequences of a decline in bipartisanship.

Just a further testament to how broken our political system is.
The only things the parties agree on are uniformly terrible, horrible, no good, very bad ideas.
