I was watching MSNBC today. They were talking about the presidents trip to the dark side.

Has any president ever done anything like this? I cannot recall any effort of this sort. And yet as historically significant as this is, the corporate news is strangely silent about it.

I've been very disappointed in Obama these last couple weeks. But this effort to bridge the partisan divide is unprecedented. The union is in sad shape, but at least Obama seems to have some idea of the cause.
