For this pair, one press release announcing their opposition to Obama's plan was not enough. They were two of 31 jittery Democrats who signed a letter urging Pelosi, D-Calif., and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., to abandon the Obama plan and extend to everyone the Bush-era tax cuts due to expire at the end of the year, according to one of its authors, Rep. Jim Matheson, D-Utah. newsmax.com This is what Obama has had to work with over the past year and half, and you wonder why the stimulus wasn't bigger?

<<I don't much care for her style either. There are some people......usually ideologues........who believe they are doing God's work and consequently behave in whatever fashion they want. She is one of them. I find people like that make little progress in the real world. I am curious to see how she behaves in the position given to her by Obama.<< I find your feelings amazing. Those Wall street regs would have had no beef at all without her. Oh bull. The SEC had 'beef' well before the Wall Street bill was passed. They just didn't exercise that 'beef' under Bush. If Wall St regulation depended on one person.....Warren......we would be in serious trouble. She is jsut trying to be a decent person and is not afraid. That's not what I got listening to her. I don't believe compromise is a word in her vocabulary. And we need people who are willing to compromise. It was primarily her ideas and pounding the table that got that bill. It wasn't fucking Geithner or Summers or even Obama or anyone on Obama's team that did the hard work!! Good lord tejek, I expect more from you! I think we see the world through very different lenses.
