Bring back the gridlock

So I was listening to Fresh Air on NPR (I know, such a nerd) and the guest made this comment about the good old days of government gridlock. huh, you say? His point was the fact that this president has yet to veto a single bill put before him by congress really makes you wonder. That's what balance of power is all about. This government was designed such that any one branch does not have absolute control. So, maybe gridlock is actually a sign of a healthy balanced government, when one party can't just "get away" with anything they want, and true bipartisan cooperation will actually happen.
