Which way is Harry looking at the Health Care bill?
He could be thinking, "what is the best possible way to get a health care bill through Congress?"

Or he could be thinking, "what is the way to get the best possible bill through Congress?"

Or he might be thinking something entirely different.

What do you think?

1. He may be thinking "What will Rahm the mad dwarf allow us to pass through Congress?"

2. I think he was told to reach an agreement with Lieberman.
So I think he feels he has no comfort zone at the moment.

3. The major players in the final bill are now
Pelosi, Reid and Rahm. Pelosi is the only one of the three holding a public option. It really depends on her, IMO. If she pushes for the public option, Reid will have to side with either Congress or the White House.


If Pelosi willingly rolls on the PO, then Reid will be right in line with her and Rahm. Reid's role depends on Pelosi's stand.

5. Thank you - that sounds rational.
