12. What? Someone has to keep their head above water to see
where to steer the ship. That's where Barack is. He has handled this major presentation of a catastrophic problem with reasonable input from an outside prospections.He has been working on a solution with all the resources he can find and still remembering that he has to win to really help.
Thank goodness for his maintenance of protocol. It keeps things on the even keel we need as a nation.
7. It was the overwhelming "no" vote of the Republican caucus
Last time I checked, Rep. Boehner was in charge of that bunch. It's no surprise they wouldn't do what the Democratic speaker told them to do, but aren't Republicans supposed to be a lock-step bunch of ideologues who demonstrate amazing party unity and loyalty? Why didn't Boehner get his own people to vote in favor of this bill?
If he wanted this bill, he should have been able to deliver the votes of his own party. And if he has lost all sway with his party, then McCain is next in line for the blame game. They want to blame Pelosi? BULLSHIT!!
Pelosi told them it WOULD NOT PASS unless it was passed on a bipartisan basis. It was CLEAR.
