And, if Obama's signature proposals do not pass, the people are going to blame the Democrats and Obama, not the Republicans. If we can't pass legislation when we have 58 senators and a huge majority in the House, then we are worthless.

calling the "democratic" party worthless, BEENGO!!!!

Unfortunately, as I've been pointing out over at the orange site (and getting basically nowhere) ONE good guy (Obama) will find it nigh impossible to rise above the 50 years of putrid/utterly corrupt wasteland that the beltway has become - THANKS to our buffoon-ridden congress.

The financial disaster we now face is almost entirely the fault of congress, and THEY need to step up and clean it up. but they're not doing this; what they ARE doing is revealing their true colors by throwing Billions of our tax dollars to their actual masters, the entitled/investor/wealthy class; a relatively small number of greedy cretins who thru their astonishing level of greed and stupidity managed to lose Trillions of dollars thru extremely high risk investments.

the evidence of the collusion between congress and the various crucial gov't agencies which they let run amok (SEC, etc) and the entitled/investor/wealthy class could NOT be more crystal clear. one prime example is the glaringly lacking full blown investigation of the SEC for "missing" the Madoff fraud.

the excuses as to why Obama will not achieve single payer universal health care are already popping up (as I predicted) over on the orange site-- because people there refuse to primary and get rid of "centrist" democrats (I nice way of saying they are repuglicans) as well as get rid of idiots like Pelosi and Reid.

DUMP 90% of incumbent congressional democrats. had we done this long ago, I assure you Obama's agenda would sail thru congress. but NOT with the a-holes we have now.

what a crock of obstructionist bs.  lack of progress on these issues, given the circumstances, will be considered, and rightly so, as a massive failure by the demoRATs.

they're batship crazy if they think this is a positive move. all 12 of them will have to be put in the WPP if their obstructionist goals come to pass.

the people are pissed. and the outpouring of negative reaction to the AIG fiasco is just the tip of the iceberg.

proceed at your own peril mr. bayh.

the revolution will not be televised...

Ain't gonna happen.  No way.  No how.

Would a wise man place his money on yet another Democratic self-immolation?

You tell me.

John Mccain Called his wife WHAT??

President Barack Obama firmly resists ideological labels, but at the end of a private meeting with a group of moderate Democrats on Tuesday afternoon, he offered a statement of solidarity.

"I am a New Democrat," he told the New Democrat Coalition, according to two sources at the White House session.

The group is comprised of centrist Democratic members of the House, who support free trade and a muscular foreign policy but are more moderate than the conservative Blue Dog Coalition.
