I was reminded today of something I hadn't tho't about for a long time. It popped into my brain as I was half-listening to an interview with Jimmy Carter on his new book.
It was during Carter's term that we formalized diplomatic relations with China. Nixon first made the effort at rapprochement, but it was Carter's actions that made it all real and concrete.
A Democrat actually followed up and followed thru on an initiative of a previous (and VERY) Republican president. So I'm thinking that's what real bi-partisanship looks like. Not the bullshit we hear about now. Where is that kind of thing now?
