I'm not Catholic, but if I were, I know exactly what I would give up for Lent. I'm not one to go halfway, so I'd make sure to give up the most important thing in my life: Jesus.

Politics, Redux
Post-partisanship only works when both parties are interested in governing. Seeing as the Republican party's basic platform includes, "government is bad," I don't think they qualify. They have a a nasty tendency to turn that idea into a self-fulfilling prophecy (reference 2001-2008).
I would suggest that, instead of either fighing GOP or playing nice, that President Obama should make them completely and totally irrelevant. Point them out for the small-minded narcissists that they are.
Step One starts with the Right's propaganda machine. Call a press conference and announce that the White House Press Corps will be reorganized to better reflect the top standard's of America's elite journalists. As such, Fox News will no longer have a spot. Nothing against them - no lawsuits, no FCC crackdown - just that they are no longer considered journalists. Cite the number of factual errors and outright lies propagated by the organization.
Finally, announce their replacement: an organization with tremendous popularity that succeeds in educating their viewers, a group who's followers are consistently more aware of world events and have a more accurate understanding of the issues - Comedy Central.
Close the event by asking the Press Corps to vote for who gets to decide the new representative: John Stewart or Stephen Colbert.
