:wow: @ the "off the cliff reality of the crisis President Obama has inherited" graph

1. nosedive is more like it.

3.6 million, they should shove that number up the Repigs backsides.

2. That is one scary graph.

Pretty good interview, too. Good observation he made about the disagreements being about 10% of the package. Dollar wise, I think it worked out to about 5%. So 90 - 95% is settled. That makes me hopeful they will get it done soon.

3. As a 10 percenter, still feels weird

to see the President's top advisor on a "liberal" show like Rachel's, to hear Obama call on someone from the Huffington Post, to see Helen in the front row (Represent, Helen!!!!).

To hear our President string together coherent sentences, with all the words pronounced right, with good ideas in them.

Not used to automatically flipping the channel when the President comes on - much more used to cringing.

I have to keep pinching myself to realize we're not underfoot anymore.

4. It was a great interview, IMHO....

first as someone said, just the fact that the President's Senior Aide is on Rachael
is wonderful. That graph put this situation is great perspective. I loved how
Axelrod kept going back to Obama's town hall meeting, and emphasizing the reasons
that Obama wants action...to help ordinary citizens.

6. Yes. Not sure what gripes any could have with Rachel. She's a terrific interviewer

eom

5. #5- to the GP

7. since the house has a larger majority, can't they just

rubber stamp the senate bill? the republicans won't vote for it anyway . . .

i hope no one grandstands over pride of ownership.

And Rachel's graph says it all =let's get it done!
