No Labels is no real alternative to conventional politics

In his State of the Union address last week, President Obama demanded “a year of action.”

But what we really need, Reps. Ami Bera, D-Calif., and Chris Gibson, R-N.Y., suggested in their SOTU response for the post-partisan, good-government group No Labels, is “a government of collaboration.” Not in the Vichyite sense, don’t worry–what No Labels proposes is a government with a “formula for how to get our leaders in Washington to start solving problems together again.”
