Gee, and I thought everything was going pretty good for the Dem's...

Democrats confused about path ahead
A day after Obama's State of the Union speech, party in disarray


A day after President Obama called on them to renew efforts to pass his ambitious agenda, congressional Democrats remained in disarray Thursday about how to move forward, with at least some pointing at the White House as the cause of the legislative standstill gripping Capitol Hill.

Democrats left town early Thursday weighing their next steps on everything from the stalled health-care bill to competing job-creation packages. Before they departed, some criticized Obama for casting blame on the Senate, where moderates felt singled out for ridicule. Others sought to shift the burden to the GOP, latching on to Obama's call for Republicans to share responsibility for governing after a devastating special-election loss left Democrats a vote shy of a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. Still others said the president's calls for bipartisanship were wishful thinking and suggested that daring Republicans to block their ambitious agenda would set up a "liberating" contrast for November's midterm elections.

"We also have the responsibility, if we can't find that common ground, to stand our ground on principles," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), rejecting bipartisanship as a goal unto itself. "If we can't find a bipartisan way to do it, we are not going to say, 'Well, if it is not bipartisan, we are not going to do it.' We are going to do what we believe."

Of course it's from the Washington Post. And of course there is little said about the GOP obstinate "I am 13 so there" attitude toward governing...

Sigh, our side could pass a full comprehensive health care package and the fools over at the Post would write a headline like this "What's Wrong With the Health Care Bill?"

Nothing the GOP does is ever portrayed as over the top but if a dem sneezes in public, they call for investigations as to how the Dem's are spreading illness and possible death sentances because like Clinton and Edwards, they can't keep it in their pants...

3. Oh yeah..........the "liberal" press.

Full of good unbiased accurate reporting. Not.

Just call them an arm of the Republican Party, and be done with it.

Good grief.

4. Um, the Wa Po is like the BIBLE to DLC Centrists. If Broder doesn't approve, Obama doesn't do it.

Sick of hearing complaints that double edged swords cut both ways! :hi:

5. The media hates it when Democrats get things done.
