Poor old Feel doesn't know that the Dems in both houses are so widely divided that they fight all the time to the point that they can't get much done without all the arm twisting and threatening they do so well because of the divisions.

Both Houses of Congress passed a bill that would dramatically change coverage in this country and that those bills needed only to be reconciled. Not sure how that falls under "widely divided"

Maybe it's just time for the GOP to simple quit lying for a change. Just try it out for a week or two and see how it works for you?

It's a game of chess. The king is backed into the corner and in check. Obama must move his rook to block the move, playing on the defensive. Get too aggressive, he could leave the king out in the open and discover he's checkmated.

Key word is bolded right there. Note: past tense. Your ObamaPelosiReidCare isn't going anywhere now, thanks to 41.

Enjoy your majorities in the House and Senate... while you still have them.
