But that's a good spin. And remember, governors don't vote on federal legislation. Scott Brown? It was a blow to see him replace Ted Kennedy, but in reality he's only 1% of the voting Senate, and still a minority in the Senate.<br /><br />The Democrats are in the majority. And Brown's election possibly--just possibly woke them up and may nudge them into using their majority powers.<br /><br />I see the glass as half full, while you, the opposition, naturally want to look at it as half empty.<br /><br />BTW, Mr. Obama scored big time yesterday with the public in his ability to walk into the "lion's den" and come out looking damn good.<br /><br />Even the Republicans have admitted they should never have allowed cameras in the room so that the public could see that their president has a command of the issues, can give as good as he gets, all the while exhibiting good humor and grace.Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-35693473416455168662010-01-31T09:55:19.607-05:002010-01-31T09:55:19.607-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-90083677164272665612010-01-31T08:50:00.206-05:002010-01-31T08:50:00.206-05:00Sue said...

President Obama was strong, commanding of the room and very presidential..<br /><br /><br />LOL! I predicted this last fall! I wrote in my own blog that this was going to happen.. I also predicted many times that it would not be Republicans who would kill the bill, but the Democrats themselves! The sad thing is that they nearly did force this thing into law, but the new year came. 435 House seats are up for election. About 1/3 of the U.S. Senate is up for election.Three major election losses + 2010 election year + VERY ANGRY electorate = no health reform bill and a chance to try and blame it on the Republicans.<br />This president did not just roll over one morning and discover there were Republicans in Congress. He has ignored them and marginalized them while they are winning elections! If there is one single thing you can count on from a politician it is to survive and stay in power. It is not looking very promising for these Democrats after all this!rllrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-85995689859271999552010-01-30T21:56:20.418-05:002010-01-30T21:56:20.418-05:00It was the highlight of my week that's for sur...It was the highlight of my week that's for sure.

H...Dave,<br /><br />Agreed. Glad you were able to see this.<br /><br />His staff should take a look at the glowing reviews over this endeavor and have Mr. Obama appear in this type of venue more often.<br /><br />As for Palin, she has talent, but it isn't in speaking extemporaneously and in depth on any policy issues.<br /><br />There's a reason McCain's people would not allow her to go on any Sunday morning talk shows, like Meet the Press.

First to be in the middle of a foreign country and be able to see and hear my President, and then to see just how well this all played out.<br /><br />Perhaps, even if one cannot applaud Obama's policies, they can appreciate his openness and candor at this meeting.<br /><br />I hope this sets a standard for the future. Our Presidents taking questions from the opposition party openly, on television.<br /><br />I think if Sarah Palin was to agree to something like this, I'd pay to see it.Dave Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04272431500457083818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-15173084406069060362010-01-30T14:59:44.802-05:002010-01-30T14:59:44.802-05:00'Winning' in Afghanistan. That would obvio...'Winning' in Afghanistan. That would obviously include legalizing drugs in the United States. And that is never going to happen in my lifetime.<br /><br />Here's just bout the most optimistic article I can find.<br /><br />Peter Bergen is pretty good but even he can't muster much enthusiasm for this misadventure.<br /><br />He writes:" Measures like these would help return Afghanistan to something like the state it was before the Soviets invaded in 1979: a relatively peaceful country slowly building itself into something more than a purely agricultural economy."<br /><br />That's setting the bar pretty low. A return to tribal factionalism with a huge opium crop and women treated as chattel.<br /><br />Heck.
