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
