Obama, by his words and actions (cabinet appointments) is trying to send out a post-partisan message. How successful this will be remains to be seen. But post-partisanship may have been harder to achieve had the Democrats attained a 60-vote supermajority in the Senate. This would have enabled them to roll over Repubs, without seeking consensus or compromise. This would have also allowed them to force Obama into territory more leftward than he desires.
Seeking consensus and compromise among both parties is exactly NOT what the Bush administration did and is exactly the CHANGE WE NEED!
