Don't know how many saw it today, but Mitch McConnel and John McCain just skewered The One today over the transparency he promised when running for the office. When Reid came out of the partisan HC meeting between The One and democrat Senators earlier today, he really looked defeated imo. I didn't see that. That's good news. Perhaps Reid was hoping for some support from Obama that he did not receive.

When Reid came out of the partisan HC meeting between The One and democrat Senators earlier today, he really looked defeated imo He said one thing that caught my attention. Referring to energy/green movement, he said (and I'm paraphrasing it) that it is important for America to stay ahead of this because of all the green jobs that are going to be created. If America doesn't do it, you can bet India, China and the rest of the world is going to take advantage of it. Also, Andy Stern (SEIU) is warning (wagging his finger)congress that they better pass the HC legislation or it will be Obama's Waterloo.

He could have used those attack dog senses during his campaign but (now) it could be very good for us all that he didn't. Without Obama in the WH conservatism might never rebound... Both he and McConnel were doing a great job of skewering but I see both those guys as part of the problem... The One and democrat Senators earlier today, he really looked defeated imo. Reid is toast as he should be.... There seems to be alot of talk in the news about Obama and his far left base, if I were AxelturfManuel I'd be worrying about the vastly larger crowd of true Americans that are going to be angry beyond belief that they passed anything at all. I can't remember who it was, but one senator last weekend iterated the truth, that the bill should be trashed completely because it's fundamentally unworkable....
