Yeah.. I see the point(s), but Obama is no Lyndon Johnson. Lyndon would take a Republican into his office and 'explain' why they should vote for something. But.... Lyndon didn't face THIS band of Republicans either. They have a **slogan**... "Deny Obama everything, then fault him for not producing!"

I know that the small health care bit he got thru has already saved US a bunch, and will do more as the donut hole shrinks.

Obama, IMHO, has done wonders with the cards he was dealt....and yes, this clown parade may yet give him 4 more years.
