5. Turn Lemons Into Lemonade! |

I would do it myself but I don't have the skills. Maybe somebody reading this does. Do you remember the debt clock in New York? Somebody needs to take the job loss figures and create a clock that shows how many jobs are being lost every minute in this country. Another one could be done for how many people lose their homes, health care, etc. Then start emailing it. If a silly script that allows you to guide a spider on the screen (haven't we all received that email) can spread like it does then I bet a job loss clock would really take off. Maybe it will become a news story. Maybe President Obama's staff could work it into the debate. Having all weekend before the vote and allowing republicans to formulate strategy is only a bad thing if Democrats refuse to take advantage of the opportunity as well.

4. They need time to funnel more stimulus to tax breaks |
|
It would be rude of Harry to try to make them rewrite everything tonight. Besides - The talking heads need to do the dance of the talking points on Sunday.
We wouldn't want the sheeple to call and ask for anything but tax cuts on Monday - that would be mean and unfair and Harry is a fine man.

Harry Reid tees up the weekend news cycle for the republicans to make a few more points before the bill finally passes. Way to go Harry - way to piss your pants in the face of the enemy.
THIS is why you don't let the minority leader become the MAJORITY leader.
Now just exactly how do we get rid of this pathetic cowardly failure?
