Harry "...I don't work for him (Obama)...." Reid now stands in the way of a progressive agenda
...Not Rahm, not Obama, not my dog....Harry Reid.

Bush had Delay who would go to the point of openly breaking senate rules on camera to pass Bush's agenda while Harry Reid hasn't come out yet on reconciliation after losing the much vaunted 60th vote.

It could be done before Brown gets on office, pass the HCR and get better (there are some good cost controls already in the senate bill) cost controls via reconciliation.....but that's too simple....too logical.

Listen to what Reid says (or doesn't say) in the near future, it'll tell us more about what's gonna happen in Nov. than now...

Your Take?

TIA

1. Given that Harry is pretty much a lame duck now he could do whatever he wants
If he's waffling on reconciliation it's because he's thinking of himself and his future lobbying career prospects. Selfish little prick.

3. I blame all of the above, except your dog.
There's no there there. We have been barking up the wrong (decidedly corporate, centrist) tree. Your dog is probably the only one NOT barking up the wrong tree.

4. Wasn't Delay in the House?
He was the same as Hoyer not Reid...
