Talking Points Memo & Top Story Finding common ground with President Obama
	"President Obama did a smart thing when he said he wants to work with the Republican Party. My beef is not with Mr. Obama's posture towards the GOP; I think both parties play far too many political games. My concern is the gulf between the president and you, the folks. Three examples: First, the Obama administration has announced it may not try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York City. There was no reason to run up hundreds of millions of dollars in expense, so why did it take months for the White House to figure this deal out? Second, health care. Americans don't understand the bill, so you would think the President would simplify matters - that he would put in legislation to stop frivolous lawsuits and allow insurance companies to compete nationwide. And third, some right-wingers condemn President Obama for the trillion-dollar stimulus package, but Talking Points thinks that's unfair. However, there is more than $500 billion still left in federal stimulus money. President Obama should put the money back into the treasury - paying down a $13-trillion debt with stimulus money would send a positive message to the world about the U.S. economy. Those three examples are common sense - if the President embraces them, his bond with the folks should grow."
