James Carville To Obama On Oil Spill: 'Get Down Here And Take Control... We're About To Die'

No, I think that he is constrained by the system, he needs some republican support to break the current rules of the Senate, where a minority prevail on even the most sensible of laws to block their passage.

====================================



No, not true.



When Obama got into office, he had a filibuster-proof Senate. He also knew he didn't have the luxury of that filibuster-proof Senate for long - Two Democratic senators were on death's door (Kennedy & Byrd). In spite of that fact, he slammed the brakes on healthcare reform, slowed everything down to a crawl, declared it was "Congress's job to come up with a healthcare reform bill", he wasn't going to get involved, except that any bill he signed must have a public option. Then Obama went to work undermining the committees writing the legislation in Congress, and l!ed about it when caught red-handed. Obama made deals with PhRma, hospitals, the AMA, and the insurance industry, undercutting the committees working on controlling medical costs.
