This Is What Represents Fairness and Reaching Across The Aisle?

Which was the last president who actually reached across the aisle on matters of national security and policy for matters as serious as going to war? Hint: not Obama! Another hint: not a Democratic president!

Based on his divisive behavior and tendency to go around congress to implement policies and programs, what are the chances, really, that Obama would take the advice of a Republican majority leader about getting approval in advance to start a war in, say, Libya as Bush Jr did with the Democratic leadership for his wars?

I thought Obama said his adminsitration would be one of cooperation, reaching across the aisle, inclusion, and general 'getting along' ... in general doing everything better than Bush. I thought he was going to be the gold standard for fighting divisiveness and creating openness in government. Instead he's done the opposite ... very arrogant and condescending, apparently by nature.
