I swear, it's looking like strategy...

Remember Obama going to Baucus' home state and pointing him out on stage, talking about how important his bill would be and how much he looked forward to Max's hard work? PUNK'D

Watch closely now ladies & gents.....

<<Obama grasps and yanks table cloth - dinnerware and a naked Max 'Tax' Baucus remain in their original state on table >>

I'm starting to have some hope! Obama has been putting on a heck of a show for us and it's starting to look like after all the swords are removed from the box, and the lovely assistant opens the lid, Kennedy's healthcare bill will emerge smiling and intact.

As for Max's turd, it fell thru the trapdoor, down the chute, and into the alley.

5. No, that was before any details of Baucus's plan were revealed. Obama wanted him to succeed.

Obama was giving him support. Baucus let Obama and every other non-Bluedog Democrat down.
