November 10, 2010: Will: This list of second half goals is pretty good, Mr. President. How are you going to "be more bipartisan"? President Barack Obama: Already did it! Will: What? When?! Barock Obama: In 2008, I got hundreds of Democrats elected. In 2010, I got hundreds of Republicans elected. Bipartisan! Will: Can't argue with that. Barack Obama: I have big plans for 2012 once I find Ross Perot's phone number!
