WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama implored Senate Democrats on Wednesday to stay aggressive in pushing their agenda despite the loss of one vital seat, saying: "We still have to lead."
Speaking to his party's senators at their strategy conference, Obama reminded Democrats they still hold a 59-41 majority, one shy of the 60 needed to overcome Republican filibuster delay tactics. Democrats lost a "super majority" when Republican Scott Brown won in a special election upset in Massachusetts.
Obama said that for Democrats searching for a lesson from that election, "The answer is not to do nothing."
"The American people are out of patience with business as usual," he said.
Obama urged Democrats to push legislation that, above all else, will help people get jobs. He encouraged them to avoid the temptation to "tread lightly, keep your head down and play it safe."

Yeah, keep your heads down, that way ya won't see the guillotine blade.
Is it just me, or does anyone else think the sudden silence on “health care reform” is kind of ominous?
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find only things evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelogus
Such a deep thinker... Pfffffffftt!!!
Duhhh! You think they are giving up? No Way. Heard last night on MSNBC they are trying to gin up Obamas polls so they can they ram down socialized medicine. These Communists will never quit til we run them off.
Actually that is what Sarah Palin says.
Do you know what “ominous” means?
The disconnect the ‘progressives’ display with enterprising folk is beyond explaination.
We have no intention of following your ‘lead’ off the cliff.
It means the weather is going to get worse before it gets better.
Preferably right over a cliff!!!
“The American people are out of patience with business as usual,” he said.

He forgot to use the ‘talking points’ phrase his administration released months ago....”Status quo.” All the dumbo talking heads have been using it.
In other words, they are up to no good.
Obama says, “We still have to lead.”
But he means, “We still have to rule.”
And just how does Zero intend to lead those who will not follow?
I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that Barack Hussein must either be stupid, clinically insane, or have some other medical condition that does not allow his brain to interpret stimuli properly.
I am just not sure which one it is.
No doubt. These fanatics are insane.
You do that you Bolschevik bastard.
And your stubborness will strip you of a Congress in 2010, and you will be voted out in 2012.
Insanity: doing the same thing and expecting different results.
Keep up the good work dems, make sure ya get fired in Nov! Woo hoo, because we can slow you down far enough to thwart you while you set up you return moves home.
