Ah, House Republicans

[mindstalk]

So they whined about contraception funding in the stimulus package, Obama asked Waxman to take it out (though I haven't found if Waxman *did* take it out), and... not a single House Republican voted for the package anyway. God damn it Obama, govern like they do: you've got a majority, use it. They don't want to compromise; all the moderate Republicans got booted out in the last two elections anyway.

I'd sent an electronic message to Obama earlier today. The phones were busy.

That might be the idea... try to meet the other side halfway to prove that they're not interested in compromise.

This.

Like almost everything he's done, I noticed that it was a very politically savvy move.

I hope so.
