Reply #17: A simple challange for you .... [View All]

[JoePhilly]

Let's pretend that the public option is on the table again.

We have enough votes to pass it in the House.

And in the Senate we have 59 votes all lined up (all of the bluedogs, no GOP). We need just one vote.

Now ... YOU are the President, and the one vote you need to get to reach 60 is that of Joe Lieberman. That's all you need, just that one.

Demonstrate YOUR leadership. Get Lieberman to vote YES. Ready ... GO!!

While you are thinking about what specific action you will take, recall that Lieberman campaigned AGAINST YOU for President, is nicknamed "the Senator from Aetna", and he has no plan to run for another term.

So please, please ... describe SPECIFICALLY how you will use your leadership skills to get this one vote.

I've posted this challenge many times ... and so far, no one has been able to come up with a way to do it.

(And saying "leadership" or "bully pulpit" over and over doesn't answer the challenge).
