Of course, that is my point you want Obama to use the same tacticts as Bush. and if you followed the campaign at all you would know the Hope and Change Obama promised was not about ramming a healthcare bill through at any cost with no discussion. The hope and change he wanted was for Washington to work together and come up with solutions for America. Instead he hires Rham Emanuel, one of the most partisan and hated bullies in Washington. What a crock... You are all suckers!

Precisely the kind of "good-ole-boy" relationships that need to be gotten rid of in D.C. ..
