Weiner on MSNBC......

[Clio the Leo]

"Tonight we learned the power of the Presidential bully pulpit."

Well there you go! Who's gonna argue with Anthony ... on ANYTHING? Not me! ;)

1. Personally, I wished the health insurance reform bill included his Medicare

for All proposal.

[BlueIdaho]

2. Give us a couple of years - ok?

We will get there.

[denimgirly]

4. +10,000 - Reid promises to vote on Public Option in next 2 months.

But i doubt that will happen

Its not Medicare for All..but...
I recall Grayson was proposing a Medicare for All..

[gateley]

7. Grayson's is a buy-in for Medicare. I think that would have a much easier

time passing and getting acceptance and support than a government taxed program. I'd love to see them work together on this. I'm raring to go!

10. the house has done good. they have about 300 bills sitting in obscurity

because the senate sucks. I love me some anthony by the way. can you imagine him as speaker?

[gateley]

11. I think I caught a moment there at the end when he was the Chair -- It was cool!

And what's up with the Senate, anyway? I've only just learned that historically it's always been a knock-down-drag-out between the House and the Senate. Why, for the love of God?

Anyway, hopefully they'll catch this momentum and start behaving and MAYBE get the PO out there. And again, I'm pushing Grayson's. Lots less hassle, IMO.

:hi:

3. He's right on - the momentum started building when the President

started acting like he cared more about passing this bill than appearing "bipartisan". He made the difference and I hope he realizes it and forgets all that bipartisan shit from here on out.

[WCGreen]

5. He put the republicans in such a corner that it will blunt the

expected house and senate gains come November...

[quiet.american]

6. It's been a pleasure watching Weiner be the GOP's worse nightmare the last couple days.

"OWNED" does not even begin to describe what's he's been doing to them.

[Tippy]

8. I'm happy the bill passed

But two of our TN Blue Dogs voted with the Republicans...Tanner is retiring which is a really a good thing L. Davis is now in a Dist that is going to be redistricted and he may end up as my rep.all I can say to tha is s--t. Bart Gordon is my Rep. now he is another Blue Dog but is retiring...Tanner takes a lot of money from Ins Industry....Davis didn't take any but my bet is he will now....We have to elect progressives and I don't see many of them in TN.

[AwakeAtLast]

9. I really like him

He has proven himself in a lot of hot seats during this process.
