Kind of Like Running on a Track

A bit of light reading!

I think it is interesting that President Obama only met with a group of Democrats to "rally support for a sweeping health care bill undergoing a heated debate in the chamber." It is true if all 60 Democrats choose to support the bill it can overcome a filibuster. However, there are two issues that come to mind. First and foremost, not all the Democrats support all parts of the bill. No Republicans support it. Put two and two together. This means the bill cannot pass. It's nice that Obama is trying to get all the Democrats to support the bill, however, what about the Republicans? Wasn't this presidency supposed to be about bipartisanship? (this is me going on to the second issue with a subtle transition that I thought might be confusing and merit a paranthesis thing like this) Not going to happen if the Republicans are "excluded" so to speak. The group Reid put together is all Democrats. True, having Repulicans present would increase the number of issues that would have to be put to the floor for compromise, but we have to remember the US is made up of Democrats and Republicans. Blah blah blah blah blah. Basically it seems pretty hopeless to me. Because no one wants to agree. And the views are contradictory of each other. The end.

TAXES! AHHHH!!
