First of all, every president I can think of in recent memory has said they were going to go to Washington and work to end the party divide, work to encourage the parties to come together. However, it seems that it just gets worse. This is just the opening rounds of what I think it going to be another very split four years term for Obama.
On a side note, I predict republicans taking back power in at least one of the houses of congress in 2010.
Dem Senator: Card Check will threaten health-care reform
“We’re going to have to see whether or not there’s a consensus that can be reached that makes it something that can be passed because right now there isn’t something that can be passed,” Bennet told the group at New Belgium.
He said he’s concerned by the hard feelings that are developing on the issue, among organized labor on one side and small-business owners on the other. He said those groups can be allies on many issues, particularly health-care reform, and can’t let the EFCA debate splinter relationships.
“Temperatures are running high on both sides of this. We need to make sure that no matter how this turns out … that we’ve got all hands on deck working on health-care reform because this is the year to get that done,” he said.
