Here we go again. Obama is reaching out to Republicans one more time, convening a health care summit in hopes of crafting a bipartisan bill with a party that wants nothing to do with bipartisanship. If anything, Republicans, emboldened by Scott Brown's surprise victory in Massachusetts, see obstructionism as the way to success at the polls. They're going along, of course, because they have to at least pretend to want to work across the aisle. ...

Craig Becker, President Obama's nominee to the National Labor Relations Board, was stopped by a Republican filibuster Tuesday more than 10 months after Obama chose him for the post.
