CNBC talking heads are putting the pressure on the Democratic Congress - if you don't ignore the Republicans and pass something, then it's all your fault. So, follow the path - pass something you want and let Bush veto it. Leadership is doing what you think is right, not what Bush tells you he wants,
We have heard this song before - if you pass something Bush will sign you are good. That is crap - just like on the Patriot Act, you don't have to. If Bush doean't like it, too bad.
Again, I talked about negotiating yesterday - when dealing with a trader the only choice is to give them your best bid and say "take it or leave it." Traders do not look for "win-win" - mullets are for lunch, they aren't pets.
Sorry so short - this is a busy morning
