Look up.


Too bad you don't know anything about politics. The House Dems weren't going to vote for this plan if the Reps didn't even if they had the numbers already because if it failed, they didn't want to shoulder the burden by themselves come next election.

Also, the Dems in the White House meeting spun it that McCain fucked the plan; but a lot of new shows, including PBS's In Washington, reported that McCain hardly spoke at all during the meeting. Of course, the Republicans are saying that Pelosi and the other Dems relegated to Obama who then blamed House Republicans for everything and started the row that ended the meeting.

It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness.
