New Talking Point: If the bill is so bad, why didn't Bernie Sanders kill it?
or pick any of their progressive heroes. Why didn't Al Franken or Russ Feingold kill the bill if it is a horrible dead end bill? Any ONE of them could have killed it.

3. Well, well, they were too busy worrying about Haiti.
This was done on purpose during the crisis because evil Obama knew Saint Kucinich, Franklin and Feingold would be to upset to be able to concentrate on this bill. Oh and Bernie Sanders too. :sarcasm:

There will always be an excuse for why their heroes are not as heroic as they think they are or as progressive. And there will always be some way to blame Obama for any failure in this country and of their heroes.
