yep, which Obama and the House (forget the Senate) have been doing as much as they can on within the constraints of the "party of no, and we don't care". The economy will start turning up, it already is, and the jobs will follow. we need strong minority leadership to thwart the mega number of investigations planned to attempt to oust Obama in a bloodless coup. We need them to keep the repubs from denuding financial reform, which is another top on their to do list, and which the majority are in favor of having be strong. we need to get the top bracket paying decent taxes again, again what the majority of americans wants. and so on and so forth. fixing the economy is hard to do when healthcare was sucking the country dry at an ever more rapid rate. it needed to be done not only for the health of americans, but for our economy. if the game is chess, then all we did was sacrafice a few pawns for the long term good of the country. It's about the good all of all Americans, not a few house seats.

btw: when the House loses seats this way, it is generally put on the President of the party. so put this on Obama if you want. Pelosi won her seat running away. She worked hard, because she does know very well how to do politics, and managed to pass Obama's agenda inspite of a diverse party full of bluedogs. Obama's agenda, not hers. I don't know what you have against except the fact that "if a bunch of people don't like someone, then we should play nicey nice and get rid of them to make the mean people feel better". there is no one on the Hill who knows and works politics and a party better than Pelosi, and you'd be hard pressed to find anyone on the Hill who would say otherwise. sheesh, her and Palin in the same breath? Obama lost the House, if anyone did. But for what has been accomplished, including keeping us from a far worse economy though no one seems to appreciate that right now cause life ain't all sunshine, it was worth losing some seats, which we will get back. And when we do, Pelosi will still be there to get Obama's agenda through, rather than him having some drippy bluedog or near bluedog fighting him as the Senate has done.
