It's like Obama and Reid were playing baseball.
Obama is the pitcher, Reid is the catcher (no pun intended). Reid calls for Obama to intentionally walk the bases loaded. Then Obama goes up to Boehner, the batter, and says "John, I gave you three baserunners, please don't hit a grand slam off of me.", so instead, Boehner hits a triple.

2. No. Boehner swings the bat so hard he smacks himself in the back of his head.

3. Obama never developed a knuckler or a curveball. The stuff he has is weak.

5. Well you have to admit he's got a decent slider...
It just kind of drops off the table.

6. You're right. They were playing slow pitch softball while the Republicans played hardball.

7. first time dems stayed on message can ever recall
(like gop who follows orders) all dems were on message yesterday re women's healthcare. Loved when every dem congresswoman spoke publicly. Maybe they are learning solidarity while gop has tea party to contend with.
