Someone needs to find the same pugnacious spirit on a jobs bill. Yes, crucial assistance to states that are slashing programs and raising taxes has been blocked by Republican senators -- including Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins of Maine. Both prize their moderate images, but neither has been willing to break with the GOP leadership. But either Obama and the Democrats really believe that giving the economy another shot in the arm now is essential, or they don't. If they put no punch behind their argument, voters will have no idea that some state cutbacks or tax hikes they are worried about could be avoided if Congress were willing to act. The Obama of 2008 understood how to define the stakes and how to rouse the faithful with both reason and passion. What happened to that guy?

Dionne idiot ping.....
Pass it with your own passel of communist losers EJ.
I guess they don’t want to go down with the shit...I mean ship.
Dear little E.J. thinks mean and really bad Republicans like Snowe and Collins prevent the Dems from dishing out more money for unions and calling it relief. Dionne is such a p#ssy.
He never actually existed. The Obama that EJ Dionne worships is a total phony and a complete fraud.
I wondered and found out...the EJ stands for Eugene Joseph. I’ll bet he went with initials because all he heard growing up was his Mom screaming...”EUGENE JOSEPH, YOU ARE AN IDIOT.” Mom was right.
Gee, maybe if the Kenyan was more partisan and not such a nice guy, he’d get more done. /sarc off
The problem for the economy is that it has had so many shots in the arm, that its arms are full of track marks and infections that threaten to kill it.
“What happened to that guy?”
That guy never existed in the first place.
You really don't know the answer to that question, E.J.? You haven't notice that nearly everybody other than you has woken up from their stupor and realized what an incompetent, clueless boob the guy is? You haven't notice that it's a lot easier for people without skills to talk about things than do things, and people start to notice that after a long stretch of failure? You haven't notice that the guy has exposed himself as the radical nutcase that smart people knew he was all along, so nobody listens to his claims of moderation or bipartisanship? Seriously?
The Obama of 2008 understood how to define the stakes and how to rouse the faithful with both reason and passion. What happened to that guy?
He's as rousing as ever. What's the matter with the faithful? I'd say the problem isn't Obama, it's Dionne. It's the job of the faithful to "be roused." Stop bellyaching, and get on with the cheerleading.
