If the Democrats lose in Massachusetts tonight, I'll say you see 3 retirements within the week from swing-seat Democrats.

It's a pure referendum on the Democrats in power and the idiot in Charge who let Harry Fucking Reid and Nancy Fucking Pelosi drive health care.

Here's a fucking hint Mr president, you didn't win becuase of your ideas....you won becuase of your ideals.

If you delegate to the fucking Dynamic Duo, yo udeserve to get thrown out on your ass.

You expected way too much from him. - the liioulu with cake recipes Jan 19, 16:25 15
- H expects him to lead. That's not asking too much. - ty97 Jan 19, 16:32 13
  - He has lead. Just not up to the unrealilstic standards some were expecting. -- nm - the liioulu with cake recipes Jan 19, 16:33 12
    - No, he really hasn't. He basically delegated health care and stood back. - ty97 Jan 19, 16:36 1
      - Nothing in his past that showed he'd do otherwise. - the liioulu with cake recipes Jan 19, 16:46
    - Not really. "Here Nancy and Harry...you two spearhead health care with this rough idea." - Will Hunting Jan 19, 16:35 9
      - And how well did things go for Clinton when he tried to change healthcare. - the liioulu with cake recipes Jan 19, 16:43 8
        
        Clinton walked in and had too detailed a plan for the times. - Will Hunting Jan 19, 16:44 7
        
        So, how would you have done it? -- nm - the liioulu with cake recipes Jan 19, 16:46 6
        
        The last year? If you're going to walk in without a detailed plan upfront, you better have a clear understanding of who the best cheerleader is - Will Hunting Jan 19, 16:51 5
        
        That didn't actually answer my question. - the liioulu with cake recipes Jan 19, 16:54 4
        
        How would I have done it? Put my best guy on the case. - Will Hunting Jan 19, 16:58 3
        
        So in other words you are unhappy he delegated, but if you had been in his shoes you would have delegated? -- nm - the liioulu with cake recipes Jan 19, 17:07 2
        
        Where are you getting I woulda delegated when I say you put HIM front and center? - Will Hunting Jan 19, 17:09 1
        
        Sorry misread. If he headed that up he would be doing nothing but healthcare. It's not like he's got nothing better to do. - the liioulu with cake recipes Jan 19, 17:18
- I expected nothing of the guy on actually getting things done. I didn't expect he'd completely mistake what won him the seat in the first place. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 19, 16:28

- Currently. I expect it to change soon. - Will Hunting Jan 19, 16:28 4

    - Looks like 2 legit Dems right now (Dorgan & Dodd) and the 3 placeholders - Will Hunting Jan 19, 16:33 2
      - There's a good chance Burris' seat goes Rep. - the liioulu with cake recipes Jan 19, 16:48
      - And it's implausible to me to realize that Biden & Ted Kennedy's seats could be GOP held within a year. - Will Hunting Jan 19, 16:36
