If he forces reconciliation the R's get to say "dictator" and the
label will stick, no matter what the facts are.....

They'll claim he is usurping the third branch of government...

5. He won't force it. Feingold has it right: this is the bill Obama wanted all along.
There will be no reconcilliation. Tom Harkin said it won't happen as well.

That's just a another last gasp of hope from those who should know better by now.

7. I disagree
The votes still need to be taken. Now if he did this by executive order, you might be onto something.

8. They'll say that anyway.
Or something equally nonfactual, or stupid. Let's not decide what we are going to do based on what they are going to say.

Please.

9. I notice he's not taking as much a strong PUBLIC stand as many would like.
And this plays poorly with *some* progressives, but leaves the Freepers looking around for farm animals to molest.

I think he's too clever to let on what he's doing, and he sure as hell isn't answering my texts. x(

Poor innocent farm animals.

Good thing FDR didn't care about
