Until the Democrats actually fall in line behind what the Pres wants, I ain't holding my breath. - TWuG Jan 22, 09:04 13
- Why would Congress move on Obama's priorities when he himself said....You figure it out? - Will Hunting Jan 22, 09:08 12

  - To be fair to Obama re healthcare on this, the big complaint about the Clinton initiative for health care and why they couldn't get it passed was that - pmb Jan 22, 09:13 3
    - 1993 and 2009 are vastly different and I've said this all along. Then, no one wanted - Will Hunting Jan 22, 09:17 2
      - I agree with you regarding the result, I just think it's not so hard to understand the thought process. -- nm - pmb Jan 22, 09:22 1
        
        I can understand to a degree of the 'message' but the idea he'd punt to Pelosi & Reid is beyond words - Will Hunting Jan 22, 09:25
  - Him handing off health care to Congress is one of my beefs, but even if he'd crafted it and said "pass this" we'd still be waiting. - TWuG Jan 22, 09:13 6
    - Not nearly as much. If his plan is good, you put him out front ot get the job done. - Will Hunting Jan 22, 09:15 1
      - I don't disagree. The message machine on the Dem side has been abysmal. -- nm - TWuG Jan 22, 09:17
    - it's called leadership. LBJ got all of his great society programs passed in the first six months of his full term -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 22, 09:14 3
      - And I'm saying that the Dem party today is uninterested in being led, maybe even incapable of being led. Herding cats would be easier. -- nm - TWuG Jan 22, 09:15 2
        
        No, they just aren't being led. Obama more than any person in the last 2 decades won on the force of his personality. Not the policy but his message - Will Hunting Jan 22, 09:19
        
        carrot. stick. pick one. -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 22, 09:19

- I actually think the bank tax is pretty stupid. I'm for the regulatory restrictions, but the bank tax is silly. - pmb Jan 22, 09:10 3

    - The fed had the most profitable year in its history. $45 Billion in profits. - pmb Jan 22, 09:21
  - I look on it as a sort of insurance policy that will fund future bailouts - Roger More Jan 22, 09:14
- He's going to force the hands of the banks to break themselves up if they want to continue their other trading. - Loyola Jan 22, 09:06

- No never! -- nm - con_carne Jan 22, 09:02
it's funny that he does this at almost the exact same time that it is now legal for corporations to do political commercials. -- nm - Beaker Jan 22, 08:59 4
- He's getting tough in response to losing Kennedy's seat. -- nm - Loyola Jan 22, 09:01 2
  - in a nutshell, yes. - znufrii Jan 22, 09:05 1
    - Bwahahahahahah! Bwhahahahahahahahahaha! - Will Hunting Jan 22, 09:09
