Pushing through bipartisanship

Broadcast: Midmorning, 02/03/2009, 10:06 a.m.

The Republican party's new leader, former Maryland lieutenant governor Michael Steele, says the GOP needs to stop the Democrats from enacting a stimulus package and be more critical of President Obama's cabinet choices. The current session of Congress began with a whiff of bipartisanship, but so far politics appear polarized.

Guests

  • Vin Weber: former Republican congressman from Minnesota. He's now CEO and managing partner of Clark & Weinstock, a lobbying and consulting firm in Washington, DC.
  • Ross Douthat: senior editor at Atlantic Monthly. He blogs at the Atlantic.com.
