So much for bipartisanship: the stimulus bill passed in the House -- against *unanimous* Republican opposition. Despite the fact that Obama watered it down with those tax cuts and actively courted the opposition.
From where I'm at, this means that the Republicans effectively locked themselves out and threw away the key: they told Obama that it doesn't matter whether or how he reaches out to them, they're against him. There's only one rational response to that -- ignore them. Expect legislation that's a lot more leftist to follow. I for one hope that he'll scrap the tax cuts altogether and spend it all on fiscal stimulus.
