My point is a simple one.

There is endless screaming here on DU that Obama should "force" House and Senate Dems to vote in particular ways. This vote is a great example as to why he can't.

As for knee jerk ... where was Obama's announcement that he was cutting Social Security and Medicare this week. DU was ablaze with that prediction this week. Yet it did not happen. Kind of like the days prior to the State of the Union, when the same prediction set DU on fire, and yet the announcement did not come.
