Since the theme today seems to be about balls here goes...
Remember during the campaign when James Carville said that Hillary has balls...well if true, then she needs to loan Obama and the rest the Democratic party hers, because they could use them.
The Democrats in congress are acting completely ball-less, cojones-less, chi-chi-less,(whatever you may want to call them), and they need to grow a pair or at the very least borrow the pair that Carville says Hillary has.
Maybe, its time for the President to do something radical, like fire Joe Biden and promote Hillary to VP. Can you imagine "The Hillary's Got Balls" vs. "The Real Dick" (Cheney) matchup?
Seriously, Democrats could use a shot of spine, they need to realize that whatever happens in the fall will be made ten times worse by NOT passing HCR. Democrats walked the plank and not finishing the job will only piss off people even more than they are pissed off now, including Moi!
Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, also need to grow a pair and start putting Republicans on the record with their votes, over and over again. They need to bring up the deficit reduction commission for votes at least once per month, until election time or it passes. The President capitulating on this matter and doing it by Executive Order shows how ball-less he, his political team, and congressional leaders really are.
Democrats and the President should also seek to change the conversation (after passing HCR of course) and propose something radical, like balancing the budget and challenging Republicans to come along.
Democrats can lay out a series of proposals that would get us to balance within the next 4-5 years. Why do we need to wait for Republicans? The American people want's its President to display a hell of a lot more leadership, bold ideas, and balls!
