Quote:Many people forget or don't seem to understand that part of Bill Clinton's successes as President were because he had a Republican congress to work with.  I must credit him with actually working across the political aisle.  I recommend a very good read entitled "The Pact: Bill Clinton, Newt Gingrich, and the Rivalry that Defined a Generation".  I have the book in my digital library and am willing to loan it to anyone interested in reading it.  Just send me a PM.

It is helpful if everyone would work together but that's not the climate this country is in now, politically or otherwise. I would totally read that book but I have about three I'm trying to get through as it is. Plus I go through stages where I want to read about politics then it's about WW2 or veterans of war then it's about former Presidents and so on.
