It would be a heavy lift and it would take some solid leadership but the shiny brass ring is truly reachable. President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, and Senate Leader Harry Reid should meet quietly to review existing legislation as well as add new legislation to buil a bill that requires a public option and medicare buy in has to be implemented within 3 years. Most of this has already been scored positively so the components to provide this would be certainly deficit reducers as well as strengthen the existing passed legislation.

Hillary supporters who will not support Obama have gone freaking insane. People who continue to try to torpedo our nominee need to drink deep of the reality fountain. Their arrogance has driven them nuts.

I think some of our passionate, active friends on this forum and in other forums have truly forgotten the goal of this campaign is to recover the White House. Well, we haven't done that yet and those of us who act as if we are back in the 90's during the times of prosperity when you could be a bit more "choicy" with your stance and could have "tantrums" a bit easier. Well, this is not the time to act like babies and spoiled brats. We saw that with some of the Clinton supporters and we are now seeing it with Obama. I admit that FISA is not a "boutique" issue but don't you think its wise to actually WIN the White House before tearing apart the nominee?

I don't believe for one moment that allowing the Clintons to stay relevant by putting Hillary on the ticket as VP is a win-win. Rather than just reject her, what are the factors that would be used to vet them? Can they even pass the smell test?

This is a short diary with a very serious question........

Why do we let the GOP pretend that the timetable that needs to be set for an orderly and sensible departure from Iraq will be public and advertised to everyone? Read More
