0 needs to do what he does best and has done seeming immediately after he has won the previous election...vote present or avoid actually voting itself and start campaigning for his next office. Perhaps he can figure out a way of avoiding the nitty gritty presidential stuff and start running for term number two. If he was really creative, maybe he could figure a way to run against term #1 0 and ask for support for new and improved term #2 0.
Obama’s current mode of operations....
study problem...
appoint blue ribbon pannel...
talk to kitchen cabinet advisor friends (see andrew jackson)
issue statement calling for bipartisanship
rubberstamp whatever pelosi decides to do.
the last point is the reality right now.
obama is not in control, the head of the socialist caucus, pelosi, is in control of the national agenda.
