Obama felt some of the consequences for his policys yesterday in VA and NJ.

Perhaps he'll hire Dick Morris.

When the economy is bad, the party in power usually gets the blame.
Yesterday was an indication that the people have started blaming the
Democrats for the bad economic times. The blame Bush story has run
its course and if there's no significant job growth in the next 12
months, the Democrats are in trouble in 2010. This is especially true
because a majority of Americas don't think that health care and cap
and tax are as important as job growth and getting the deficit under
control. Obama's priorities are not in line with the public
priorities.

Obama's RCP average approval rating is at an all time low of 50.6% and
his disapproval rating is at an all time high of 44.4%. Obama had the
worst third quarter of any President in the post-WW2 era and he's down
another 2.3% since then.

I would say it confirms what everyone knew. A three party system doesn't

work and Obama's coat tails don't even cover his own ass.

A three party system works a lot better if you have runoff elections
if no candidate gets more than 50%.

It is damned irritating too! I want them to actually do something
instead of looking for cover. We didn't elect them to just talk shit to
death.

3 million relative to current law, leaving about 52
million

Two words why middle America is getting pissed.....Bail Out. That's the
core problem with the health care bill. It's seen as a bailout for the
uninsured while doing nothing to lower health insurance premiums.

Corzine was HUGELY unpopular in NJ. (Had to be to lose to a crook
like Chris Christie.)

The Ds in Congress disagree with your assessment:

It wouldn't surprise me if they did. Way too many of them are idiots.

it will actually reduce both insurance costs and the deficit:

It saves money by insuring nobody. That's genius right there.

If you say so. I'd say he felt the consequences in NY and CA.

That's their choice, but it comes with consequences.
spare me the hyperbole, it is barely nine months into this Congress' term.
Would you like to see the numbers?

Here's what I could find through 2008:

I'm still compiling numbers for 2009, but it's ugly.

It sounds like your biggest problem is with the Senate's rules. Complain
to your State's Senators and get them to change the rules.
