Gov. Dean "President Obama is Back. . .in the last 4 weeks he has been a really strong President".

Gov. Dean on Rachel tonight:


After talking about the bill as a begining step to build on and giving a strong recommendation for its passage said this with considerable enthusiasm:

"The big difference here is that the last 4 weeks President Obama is back"

. . .

"He is leading this country for the last 4 weeks vigorously standing up for what he believes in. I think it took a tremendous amount of guts on his part to go back and try this again. Alot of people in his WhiteHouse staff said don't. And he did it and he gets credit for that . . . and in the last 4 weeks President Obama has been a really strong President."


He concluded with a prediction that 10 days after passage a clear majority of the people will support it.

13. Some = Rahm

Little did FDL know he was their ally in the 'kill the bill' movement.

[Jennicut]

14. I have a feeling...he might have thought it was not politically feasible after Scott Brown won.

FDL has strange allies to begin with. I mean Grover Norquist?

15. If someone is fucked in the head, FDL will be their ally. nt
