In time Barack Obama will hopefully hone the use of the bully pulpit he has, and most of us out here in Americaland already know the Rethuglicans DO NOT have OUR best interests in mind.

Very disappointed about this. What the Dems should do is fight and then when the Republicans try to drag this out, they get the flack for blocking it.
