As the medical doctor for the House of Representatives explained yesterday, migraines "have known trigger factors" (e.g., wine and chocolate) and those can be avoided.
Before the 2010 midterms, Obama broadcast that he would be doing more of the same, even if Democrats remained the majority and in control of both Houses of Congress. More caving by Obama and Democrats, to Republican
Aides say that the president's been spending "a lot of time talking about Obama 2.0," brainstorm ing with administra tion officials about the best way to revamp the strategies & goals of the WhiteHouse .
And despite the predictions that Democrats may relinquish a large degree of legislatin g power, including perhaps control of the House & even Senate, Obama isn't thinking of the next two years as a period that'll be marked with the same obstructiv e nature from the GOP.
"It may be that regardless of what happens after this election, [Republicans] feel more responsibl e, either because they didn't do as well as they anticipate d, & so the strategy of just saying no to everything & sitting on the sidelines & throwing bombs didn't work for them," Obama says. "Or they did reasonably well, in which case the American people are going to be looking to them to offer serious proposals & work with me in a serious way."
DickDurbin says Obama's post-election agenda "will have to be limited & focused on the things that are achievable and high priorities for the American people." TomDaschle says Obama has to reach out more: "The keyword is inclusion. He's got to find ways to be inclusive. "

We have 'party government
There is nothing going on in either chamber of Congress that Obama hasn't signed off on much less didn't order. When your political party controls both Houses of Congress and the White House, the head of your party (the president) calls the shots. It's the only reason for having political parties.
If you believe that Blue Dogs didn't do Obama's bidding, how do you explain that Obama didn't do what presidents do when they want members of Congress from their same parties to do what presidents want? Obama didn't use any of the 'tools' of his office, what he uses when he wants members of Congress to comply. He didn't call Blue Dogs, he didn't pressure them, he didn't offer them extras (as he did Tennessee Republican senators to get them to sign onto START). He didn't hold rallies in their states/dis
