Would Harry Reid have allowed a vote on the Keystone Pipeline unless he knew beforehand that he had enough votes to defeat it?
Would the president have allowed such a vote to go forward and gotten so involved in the outcome if he had the slightest fear that enough Democratic senators might mutiny against him to approve the pipeline, thereby forcing the Democratic House members to weigh in on this politically toxic issue, and, if approved by the entire Congress, then forcing him to veto it? Very doubtful.
Re: Reid
I just got off the phone with his nasty little aide. I told him that we pay Reid’s salary and he is voting against the people’s will and interests. My telling him I am a black woman who can’t wait to vote straight R ticket in November really sent him into orbit.
Would Obama have flown to Denmark to beg for the Olympics (to be held in Chicago) unless he had a nod and a wink that he would succeed? Failure would make him a laughingstock. Surely he wouldn’t risk such a debacle.
Oh wait....
These are not the brightest knives in the drawer.
