Look at that pretty little red spike.
Like a dagger.
Hockey Stick!
Obama and his advisors have the “Guy hanging on the rope of the Hindenburg” thing going on here. They can’t abandon their objectives but can’t stay on the same course. Obama made a tactical error not getting involved from day 1 and letting Nancy Pelosi write the House version of the healthcare bill. Looking more and more that conference will be the reconciliation route, a straight up vote on the Senate bill and you have the pro-life Dems not voting for it, the liberal caucus has been sending mixed signals and from what I have read leaning against voting for the Senate version, the House pubbies, forget it, its radioactive. I think all this is Kabuki theatre and in the marble halls the staffers and the Senators and Reps know...the bill is less than 50/50 of ever seeing the President’s desk. Can you imagine the epic meltdown at the Whitehouse if that were to happen.
