For his part, Obama has not appreciated until recently how closely he has been tied to Wall Street and the banks. He has been too reluctant to underscore how much of Washington's dysfunction has been pushed to new levels by the Republican Party's decision to grind the Senate to a haltThe Dem caucus has 60 votes, EJ - it is truly ironic that, in a column that castigates Dems for continuing to blame Bush, you blame the Senate gridlock on the GOP when the Dems have enough votes to technically do anything they want.
Exactly! The GOP doesn't have the votes to stop Obamacare from passing. The Democrats are torn by infighting over whether the bill goes far enough to their real goal - a single-payer system. They couldn't even get the votes in the Senate for Bernie Sanders' SP amendment. In short, they have these huge congressional majorities but they can't govern and they can't deliver.
