Late night club - Don't worry about postponement of the vote
Obama is playing poker with them, drawing them in before placing the big bet.

A vote tonight would have passed and all of the networks, including MSNBC would have whiners on all weekend complaining that Obama bullied them. Yesterday he got the gift of 36 republicans voting for an amendment that was only tax cuts, today Graham had a breakdown and whined about not having enough time. Tomorrow the unemployment figures will be released and unfortunately (but fortunate for political reasons) the numbers will be bad. (a given)

So Obama let's the camera's in for his smack down as a warning to the repubs. Tomorrow he gets more votes than he would have got tonight, and the talking heads and whiny republicans will have a hard time spinning.
