Well, that's the difference between running the country with your finger in the air and running the country based on principles.
You are right... we have to make sure that public opinion is against Obama and Reid on this. That's who is at fault.
You need someone who has principles and can convince the fickle voters what he is doing is right all while making it through the political land-mine field set by Democrats.
There are still more elections coming in the future. You could ask a genie for someone in charge who agrees with you 100% but if he sticks his foot in his mouth and cant explain what he is doing you end up with Pelosi as Speaker again doubling the current spending on stuff we hate, then raising taxes and outlawing your use of who-knows-what next.
Fight to win!
