Wreckonciliation and Wrangle
The above was simply too good to pass up.
Obama and crew ran the campaign as well as they’ve run the government poorly. Even Dems don’t understand the current substance or long range implications of the health care bill that Pelosi and Reid, using string, glue and Parliamentary backdoor maneuvers, are attempting to cobble together.
As for Charlie, he’s not stupid so it must be pride that fueled his resistance, until a few minutes ago, to exiting gracefully rather than in handcuffs.
Either that, or he’s in need of low doses of Aricept.
Congress as a whole would take a baby step towards regaining the public’s trust if they’d pass a modest and somewhat bipartisan bill without the shenanigans, embodying the Republican points that Obama’s in accord with, as per this morning’s NYTimes.
And the one and only productive move Pelosi’s made in the past year was to finally wrestle the gavel out of Charlie’s hands. If you wanted to precipitate a geometric increase in the number of Tea Party members, there’d have been no better way than to leave a guy with tax problems in charge of taxing the rest of us.
