I was never a fan of Barack Obama's bipartisanship routine.

Above all else stands the burning question of bipartisanship. Whatever else the politicians might say they're about, our news analysts know that this is the true object of the nation's desire, the topic to which those slippery presidential spokesmen need always to be dragged back.

I think there's great potential for autonomy, but we have to remember that we live in a world where people may have free will but have not invented their circumstances.
