There is a front page story about the republicans promising to fillibuster everything, if they don't get their way.
What a great idea.
MAKE THEM FILIBUSTER.
Obama and the dems should be clapping their hands.
I want to see the republicans on cable 24/7 defending taxcuts for billionaires and and a $700 billion addition to the deficit.
I say.... BRING IT ON.
Obama should too.
This is a great way for Obama to restore a little luster to that halo.
He will look like a leader.
No matter how it turns out, people will know that he is willing to take a stand.
If he can't whip the dems into shape, I think this reflects badly on the dems that don't go along, NOT Obama.
Shining the spotlight on dems will let them know he intends to play hardball with everybody.
Everyday that passes and dems are not out front on this, they are losing the messaging game.
This is a perfect message to win with.
Let the republicans fillibuster everything.
I want to hear them justify taxcuts for the wealthy and deficits, and turning the employed out into the cold for Christmas.
All the visuals and the policy are on the dems side.
If they will just use it.
It will set the republicans back on their heels.
Independents will come back home, the base will start smiling, and the republicans will give him a little respect, me thinks.
So what do you say, Mr. President.
Can you, Ms. Pelosi, and Mr. Reid bring it on.
America is waiting.
