Unbelievable. They completely own the crapsandwich of a stimulus package, the shitty economy and now government sponsored healthcare.

Cause that's the type of "We've turned the corner" post that'll be thrown back in your face rather quickly. Besides, who is the one who says Obama is responsible for the current state of the economy? Why ... <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/14/obama-on-economy-i-want-t_n_232265.html" rel="nofollow">Obama</a>! And Wilbur, did you accept that argument when it was made, or did you counter with something along the lines of "The Buck Stops Here"? ... That's what I thought. The only reason the slide has stopped is due to Obama policy.

If he hedges any further on that, without a clearcut commitment from Snowe and Grassley, he knows he's likely to be kicked to the curb by the rest of the caucus. And it's going to be completely, blatantly obvious that he's the douche who's responsible for scuttling any chance of getting a bill passed.

Baucus is more interested in being Pally with his Republican buddies and Big HealthCare owners to listen to some upstart black man in the White House. You can tell i'm pretty disgusted, no? Only bright spot was reading how the RNC was routing calls over the new DNC ad over to the DNC....adolescent behaviour that cracked me up...
