You know it and I know it, but its always been an open question whether they know it too. I think Obama and Pelosi do. This was their chance to set the country on the path to welfare-state nirvana and they calculated quite astutely that it was worth sacrificing their majority to do so. Control of Congress will come and go, but a dependent electorate is forever. Whether the caucus and their idiot base calculated the same way or whether they really convinced themselves that the boondoggle to end all boondoggles was a political winner is more of a mystery. Or was. Via Geraghty, a tidbit from Howard Fineman:

Absolutely!
Another demographic will soon declare itself. Another country will seem its least informed, least capable demogrpahic, to demand of our nation that we take them to raise. But the promise of subsistence by monthly gubment checks will soon solidify the group into democrats.
It is indeed tragic that the black Americans, whose forfathers fought the good fight for equality have given those hard-won freedoms for subsistence living. Deprived of freedom they seek servitude at such a pathetic price. They indoctrinate their children that this is as good as it will get. Now we have health insurance pimps, who promise a 'doctor in every pot'.
And the part which is equally disgusting, is the indentured servitude of producers of wealth in this country who are being raped daily by a 'democrat party gone wild.' This can not end well. The control of 'the people' (now the proletariet) which was reference by the Michigan congressman, Congressman Dingle, will spin out of control. Informed people cannot be terrorized by the American government and not have a response. Tyrany of the minority by the majority was the mistake of the French Revolution, and it is, likewise, being misunderstood by Obama and the dems of Congress. Degredation of the Constitution will continue only so long until people say 'no more'! I can only pray it is dealt with at the ballot box.
I’m hoping this contrition is from one of the VA senators who betrayed constituents for party and who WILL GO DOWN next election.
Warner and Webb are gone. I’ve never seen such anger at elected officials... and I live in Arlington!
I agree with you! As I’m sure many other Americans do too.
the elephant in the living room is the votes of the illegals who obama will attempt to legalize, and receive their votes for the House and Senate in Novmember.....is that going to happen?
and that Senator, I bet, was Evan Bayh.
The idiot doesn’t mind socialism, he just wanted the socialism put into effect differently.
screw off, all of you Demon rats. You all make me sick.
Can I vote for them to be the first to walk the plank??? BWA HA HA HA HA HA HAHA!!
How can we have been duped when congress ignored our demands to kill the bill?
Unless you mean duped in electing them in the first place?
Well to be frank the previous republican congress was having problems. I just don’t know how anyone can ever trust the democratic party again, as their a party of liers cheats and frauds.
Correction; It is Democrat Senator not Democratic.(pet peeve) ;-)
Same here. I really tick off the democrats when they try to correct me about leaving the [ic] off the end. I ask them when there are just say 25 of their party in a room:
Are you 25 democrats or 25 democratics?
They shut up and leave without answering.
