You Can Thank Sen Al Franken For The Passage of HCR

[stopbush]

It was Sen Al Franken who got up in the administration's grill after what's his name won up in MA and had sharp words for the WH about their lack of leadership.

Al spoke, the WH listened, Obama got his game on and the rest is history.

1. I will think him with all the money I can afford to send...

and letters, too.

2. Al should also get credit for Obama's new poll numbers. LEADERSHIP is what

HCR required all along.

Obama should have gotten tough way back in the summer of last year when the WH let the Rethugs beat HCR down.

4. Nope

They needed it to drag out until this year, closer to the election. It's political theater designed to embarrass the Republicans and make the Dems look like heroes. That's why Obama hung back.

I know people don't like to hear this, but he's a master political strategist.

3. Sen Franken is doing a fantastic job of living up to his idol, Sen Wellstone.

5. Rapidly becoming my favorite Senator.
