What Needs to be Done to Unite the Country?

After what was a divisive election by all estimates, the country now has to heal. It also needs to move forward. So what can be done to achieve this?

After billions of dollars and almost two years of constant campaigning, there's very little difference in Washington. The Presidency, the House and the Senate remain as they have been since 2010. Despite all the rhetoric, no one party was given any overwhelming mandate by the voters. They are still each blaming the other side for the gridlock and the gridlock remains. 

So where do we go from here? How do we come together? 

What do you think our elected officials need to do to unite the country? What do we as individuals need to do to learn tolerance of each others views?
