14. He's probably right. However, conservative Democrats call the shots in the House and Senate now.

Edited on Tue Jan-05-10 11:46 AM by Better Believe It

Just look at the Private Health Insurance and Big Pharma Protection Act coming out of the Senate.

The 2010 elections will lead to a larger bi-partisan coalition of "centrist" and "blue dog" Democrats and Republicans. They will tighten their conservative grip on Congress and open the door to more and even greater social "reforms" .... such as cuts in social security and other "entitlement" programs.

The President will of course not fight them.
