Mindmeld, > If it were me instead of Obama, I would have invited Nelson and Reid to my office. Then I would have told Nelson, that he'd better drop his demands or I'll make damn sure not only that he doesn't get a nickel from the national party for his upcoming re-election, but that I'll make damn sure we nominate another Democrat to take his place. In addition, for the other wayward Dems, I'd tell them I'll take away their chair positions and any other senior senate or rep privileges they have and I'd get Reid and Pelosi to back me. What you are talking about is leadership. What you are seeing in the Obama administration is a lack thereof. If I were a liberal, I'd be demanding more leadership and fewer speeches from Obama.

What he did was despicable. However, don't blame the GOP for that. I don't blame the GOP for his disgusting grab bag display. I do blame them for obstructing at all costs. Have you heard of their opposition to the debt commission Obama is appointing? That after they voted against the congressional commission THEY SPONSORED. The bottom line is that instead of bringing out the stick to get the Dems to vote as a block, they use the carrot and fill their bills with pork, which absolutely disgusts the American people.. I have to agree with that. I would also make the GOP filibuster all the stuff they have threatened to filibuster and let the american people see it. Al
