I think they should meet behind closed doors or they will never be able accomplish anything. It isn't like closed door meeting wouldn't happen anyways. No I think if you want to meet with the oppposistion and work things out you make it real meetings that conduct real business and stop the silly dog and pony show photo ops that no one but the true believers think amount to working together.
Bush was able to accomplish bipartsian legislation and some of the bigger bills had dem cosponsors. To bad Obama can live up the example set by Bush.
Reid put a hold on the nominees but he wanted one of his friends appointed to an energy commision.
