Not saying it is not truly bipartisan, but...
it is almost entirely funded by the Annenberg Foundation..
FactCheck.org is a nonprofit website[1] that describes its own goal as "[reducing] the level of deception and confusion in U.S. politics". In its efforts, FactCheck claims to be nonpartisan.[2] It is a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, and is funded primarily by the Annenberg Foundation.[2]
I found this on Annenberg:
Annenberg Foundation to Make Documents Related to Chicago Challenge Available
The Annenberg Foundation has announced that, along with the Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, it will make available all materials related to its Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC).
CAC was part of the $500 million Annenberg Challenge for School Reform that, in the 1990s, brought together civic, business, and university leaders with foundations and other groups in support of school-improvement projects. Following recent news reports that have raised questions about Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama's role in the $50 million CAC project and the availability of materials related to it, the foundation has agreed to make all CAC-related documents available to the public by appointment. The majority of the documents are archived at the University of Illinois at Chicago, while others are located at the Annenberg Institute and the foundation's offices in Radnor, Pennsylvania.
Three summative studies of the Annenberg Challenge for School Reform published by the foundation and institute are available on the Annenberg Institute Web site: The Annenberg Challenge: Lessons and Reflections on Public School Reform (61 pages, PDF), Research Perspectives on School Reform: Lessons from the Annenberg Challenge (14 pages, PDF), and The Arts and School Reform: Lessons and Possibilities from the Annenberg Challenge Arts Projects (52 pages, PDF).
Not saying this would make them lean one way or the other...but this is where the money comes from.
Where is all of "O's" big bipartisan rhetoric now?
Obviously that is all it was....rhetoric. Preached we had to work across the aisle...bipartisanship...to get things done. And now, with the biggest crisis this country has faced in decades, and he has a chance to put his money where his mouth is...what does he do? Decides what is best for Barack, and that is the tack he takes. ANY credibility he had left with me is gone.
They said instead of all the talk about it being a bipartisan
effort, it turned out to be a partisan effort (dems against pubs again).
Speaker Pelosi struck the tone of partisanship in this. Failure of Speaker Pelosi .... failure to listen, failure to lead.
94 dems voted NO!
They're going back to the drawing table.
Bipartisan politics at its best! LOL

May I be the first to offer resounding bipartisan

JM credibility on moderate inclusive bipartisan

One would imagine so he can get bipartisan 1st-hand info
It is appropriate that he continues exactly on the course he is following for the moment...cabinet building, prioritizing and preparing initiatives for day one so as to hit the gound running.
Knew it would happen. Bipartisan, my foot.
McCain's amendment that would only cost $450B and provide almost everything for the people failed. Ayes-40, Nayes 57. That's how much the Naysayers care for the people of this country. 
I'd join the grassroots movement but I don't even have a car that would get me to D. C.
Do you know what bipartisan is? Both sides made concessions in order to .sm
make it a reflection of bipartisanship so that both parties would be able to vote for it. Of course there will always be some people that will not be satisfied. That is the nature of things. However, to say that because Nancy Pelosi is responsible for the loss of votes because she made harsh statements about the Bush administration is just ridiculous.
On a lighter note, a bipartisan funny card (sm)

When you have a bipartisan version of the bill to view...please enlighten us. nm

A bipartisan prayer request viewed as provoking hate.
by taking this kind of position and posting these kinds or rants.
Bipartisan (well, kind of) funny video on Hillary. Hope it works.
