To the Editor:

   President Obama has spent his first four months in office compromising on the positions for which he was elected, in an apparent effort to buy support from Republicans.  If we were to assess the project at this point, we see that he has indeed persuaded one pundit on the Right that his policies are palatable--in as much as they are those of president Bush. The two Republican senators who voted for his major spending bill extracted $5Billion each in new monies for their state in exchange. At this rate, bipartisanship isn't worth the price tag.
