You read my mind
Some Democrats like Hoven and Landrieu are scared to death of the voter backlash to come in November.
They should be, but let us hope they don’t take it serious before then.
Obama has been holding onto Keystone as an extortion bargaining chip for something really big. Is minimum wage going to be big enough to get him DNC votes? That’s a big bargaining chip. I’m not sure min-wage is gonna do it.

Schumer is pretending again...The President holds the card...well...let’s put it another way...Soros holds the card...
