see the article from this mornings news and one will readily see there are NO statesmen in the current administration of either party.

The obvious emphasis emerging is to find a way to meet Obama’s pledge “to pass health care legislation yet this year”. So to accomplish one’s goal all one has to do is redefine the definition. That is convenient. Now all we have to do is try to understand what is in what piece. And once again those famous WH words are on the docket…..to move as quickly as possible.
This proposed tactic is designed to accomplish only one objective; prepare a bill that will be rammed through the system by the Democratic majority.
In so doing they meet Obama’s promise. Really?
And this activity does what to Obama’s statement that…….this is not about him……this is not about politics.
It also suggests the current administration is preparing to move ahead on a given proposal, regardless what we the people are saying to our representatives….that is both parties. I assume the Democratic rank and file understand they are not insulated from the effects of partisan legislation…..good or bad results.
We the people are about to be had in spite of speaking out. The only retribution is the coming elections in 2010 and 2012.
If there is a positive in the current posturing I look forward to hearing what they are. And if there are any statesmen in the process I would like to hear who they are.
