To where they won't bend over backwards because of what the DEFEATED REPUBLICAN MINORITY might possibly do?

Not to be argumentative, I just want to know your reasoning. :)
She needs and has a simple majority. Reid has to deal with filibusters.

Yeah, but there are conservative Dems and no liberal Republicans... |

So, she needs a better margin to get anything done.

We have a few Ds in the Senate you can't trust, either.
We'll see how it turns out. I'm hopeful.

I hope he kicks their asses! :evilgrin:
But in all seriousness ... if being around Obama doesn't make them feel strong and confident, nothing will. :-(

13. Reid and Pelosi are pussies, so they will do what he tells them to do. |
|
Between the three of them, they have one spine and it belongs to Obama.

I don't see Pelosi EVER growing a spine though. Honestly, I don't when it comes to her.

17. It's already started to happen with Reid. Read that Politico article about Obama to GOP: "I Won". |

19. They will look awfully silly if they don't let it rub off on them! |

22. That will be Rahm's job. |
|
I personally don't care for the guy, but his job now is to follow orders from The Boss.
If President Obama tells Rahm to go to Capitol Hill and twist arms, arms WILL be twisted.
