Well I guess he's just going to let them punch themselves out.
They don't really have the power to stop his agenda....but he's going to need some republican cooperation for the really big things like entitlement reform...which is why he has a muzzle on Rahm Emanuel....because that guy lives to rip republican heads off.
If you only went by cable news it would seem like the republicans were winning....but that's because cable news shows have republicans on twice as much as dems now.
But if you look at the polls, Obama is hella popular, the dems in congress are getting their highest marks ever, and the country supports the stimulus plan by a margin of almost 2 to 1.
If you only watch fox news and listen to Rush Limbaugh....then sure, you'd think Obama was failing miserably and the country as a whole was outraged by what he's trying to do.
That's not reality though.
