Both Obama and Harry Reid talked of changing the filibuster
On Rachel's interview tonight, Harry Reid compared the filibuster to some sport rule that was abused. He said they got rid of it because it was abused. He seemed to imply they should do that to the filibuster. Obama tonight also seemed to imply they might change the rule. Maybe they are waiting to see if they hold the Senate before they make any promises.
