gave McConnell, R-Ky., almost as much power over the government's direction as the president himself.

Not really. He's still the minority leader.

“McConnell is a conservative ideologue at heart”

I don’t think so! He gave up way too much on this POS deal and the dems are loading it with pork.

"I don't want the president to fail. I want him to change," McConnell says in almost every public forum.

Okay, if I may speak without repercussion from those who are important, just where do "WE THE PEOPLE" fit in with this tossing around of power talk???

Wonder how McConnell feels since Susan Collins de-nutted him on the DADT vote.

Hey Mitch we don’t want him to change, we want you to perform you sworn duty and expose this commie traitor for what he is and run his a$$ out of town!!

He couldn’t get the 60th vote for cloture on an energy bill that would have drilled in ANWR back in 2005.

Oh yeah, then how come the WSJ is reporting that Obama has his 67 votes to get ratification of that pathetic START treaty. The 67 votes include 6 or 7 Republican senators.

Why do I believe the WSJ? Is it because Republicans have consistently snatched defeat from the jaws of victory so many times in the past?

How come McConnell can't marshal his forces to send this treaty packing? Exactly what is Obama promising these Senators that can induce them to leave the plantation?

Why is it so important to have this worthless treaty ratified before the swearing in of the new Senate, just after the first of the new year? Why are these Senators so willing to help this loser to the detriment of the security of this country?

I am deeply depressed.
