After billions of dollars were donated and spent and Americans volunteered countless hours canvassing and voting for Barack Obama, the Senate is now the de facto White House.
Ignoring the will of the majority of voters, the Senate lead by the gang of four, Sens. Ben Nelson, Max Baucus Kent Conrad and Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman have effectively lead the public option to its gallows
Now Politico is reporting that 'moderate' Senate Democrats are urging the White House to give up any effort to pass a cap-and-trade bill next year.
During his election campaign Barack Obama said repeatedly how difficult it would be to bring about change. The American people are now witnessing first hand the farce that they call a democracy.
George Bush was selected to be president, even though he did not win the majority of votes and now the will of the Senate is overriding that of the President and the voters. So much for celebrating our first black president, who must now take a back seat to a Senate run by old white men.
