Obama Told Dem Senators To Keep Working With GOP On Health Care

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/08/04/obama-told-dem-senators-t_n_251287.html

"Despite confronting near absolute opposition from the Republican side of the aisle on health care, President Obama and Senate Democrats stressed during a lunch on Tuesday that reform still needed to be done in a bipartisan fashion, a White House aide said."

Holy fucking shit. We have 60 fucking seats in the senate! Do they not realize this????

2. I really want to know which senator said this

Who does Baucus hang out with? Kent Conrad maybe?

"It was really a wonderful meeting, led by a terrific man, our president, Barack Obama," Baucus said. "One of the senators was saying to me, as we walked out, 'You know, it's just so wonderful to hear him speak.' You know, it's like a symphony. It's like just a great -- it's just -- he is so good. He just has it together."
