Does that mean the Dem's are no longer filibuster proof?

Solely by party numbers 59-41, yes, the filibuster is now back in play.
This just illustrates what limp dicks the Democrats are right now, as having a 59-41 MAJORITY means they're fucked. |

Agreed, pathetic imo. If (when) the filibuster comes out to play the dems should do it oldschool - have a slumber party and make the republicans talk smack aaaaall night.

The Dem's never really had 60. Lieberman is a republican. Several others are basically republicans also. The Dem's hit the lobby jackpot, they've been missing out on massive amounts of lobby money, now they aren't. That's literally all a lot of them care about. So to get 60 they had to cater to people who only care about money, the end result was a bill that is basically better for the insurance industry (who should be getting completely gutted by any genuine health care reform) than what is currently happening. Now at least Lieberman isn't nearly as important. It's a credit to Americans that their country manages to function at such a high level with such corrupt infrastructure. I wonder what the country would be like with honest politicians (even if the same % are insane christians). |

Obama said he was going to cut funding for NASA space programs aaages ago. While I think it's unfortunate that it's getting scaled down for now, America can't really justify spending on space exploration atm

tbh, i think its entirely appropriate to go balls to the wall with a boost to the economy, let it works its magic, and then halt further spending. whether it works or not is STILL up to the public, not the president. he could use the best, most ace-in-the-hole strategy, and the american public would still flounder about in self pity until they are tired of doing so.

Obama Doesn’t "Begrudge" Bonuses for Blankfein, Dimon (CEO to Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan) If he can just stop cellphoning himself, Obama can do no wrong. |

I'm beginning to feel that Obama isn't enough of a dick to survive his next election.

Unless he really, really steps up gets this health care reform sorted, he's going to get creamed.
People are over the whole charismatic, I'm the first black president thing, and really just want to see some god damn change. |

Yeah, well, if Americans want change, they need to start thinking like their forefathers again. 'Cause their political system appears to intrinsically configured to oppose change.

It'll be interesting to see how this health care vote goes. I seems like this will make or break Obama.

i dont see how, personally. the republicans have cock blocked everything thats been thrown on the table, some for good reasons, most for no other reason than to follow the party line of "obama is evil, impeach!"
if this is voted down again, its certainly not obamas fault. |

Sah-weet! The vote passed! No doubt with a lot of nasty crap tagged on. But at the end of th day Obama can say he got this through... as long as it doesn't blow up in his face somehow.
