Obama claims to be bipartisan, but there isn't any evidence of this in his achievements in the past. Talking with people, and claiming credit for others' work isn't the same thing as showing leadership to bring about change, the way McCain has in refusing to request earmarks, or stepping outside the box to vote for something your party is not supporting the way McCain has. In comparison to McCain, Obama has done nothing to gain the title of bipartisan other than talk talk talk.
