Reply #95: Just by that statement I thank God and all that is powerful in this world that you are not Pres.

You have no idea on how to get things done. This is not the only issue that will pass by these people. Obama had an ambitious plan going in and he wants to make sure he will meet if not all his plan by the end of his 4 years at least meet 80% of it. That being said you get more flys with honey than with vinegar. The point being you don't burn your bridges before you get your things done. What you're demanding presumes there is ONLY one issue Obama is fighting for and he can willing threaten other officials to meet one demand.

Secondly you want a Bush for the left. He's not Bush and won't be. Bush/Cheney blackmailed or ramrodded or unilaterally did things that they wanted. Obama was voted in and follows the law of the land. I find it boggling when I see people who don't respect that by proposing he takes any excessive measure to get things done---which is similar to what Bush did.
