His real problem is that the party isn't treating him like the meal ticket he is for them. - David Jan 19, 18:54 21
- I think that's a chunk of it. THe old school dems thought it was time to get even instead of doing work. -- nm - Remlik Jan 19, 19:01 9
  - That's certainly how I see it and I'm frustrated because this is a time when both parties need to be finding common ground. - David Jan 19, 19:05
  - I think this is part of it. plus I think the dems thought they could rest on their laurels; that they didn't need to *do* anything. - amanchester Jan 19, 19:04 7
    - I think the real problem is that they decided to expend their political capital on something they couldn't do. - Ender Jan 19, 19:12 2

      - is it the "nerve" or the "pull"? -- nm - amanchester Jan 19, 19:15
      - the congress doesn't have a platform. it's 400 some odd individual races. -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 19:12
    - Agree with it or not, getting health care bills through both House isn't not doing anything. -- nm - Dano Jan 19, 19:06

        especially when it leaves voice mail. -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 19:08
  - I agree. -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 18:57
IMO it's all of it together. He promised change, and it's hard to make big changes in Washington. -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 18:54 2
- harder when you don't want to actually fight against anyone for it -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 18:56
