Obama Tells Senate Dems to Step Out of the ‘Echo Chamber’ (Update: Video)Posted on Feb 3, 2010
President Barack Obama gave Senate Democrats a pep talk Wednesday, rallying the battle-fatigued and dispirited among them by reminding of the need to “finish the job” concerning health care and financial reform and recommending that they refrain from taking their cues from cable TV news and the blogosphere. Instead, Obama said, they would do well to get out and talk to ordinary Americans. —KA

PS is Paul Street at Znet interview:
PS: “We have to embrace and undertake the difficult and painstaking and day-to-day work of re-building and building and then expanding rank-and-file grassroots organization and capacity on key issues beneath and beyond the corporate-crafted candidate-centered narrow-spectrum biennial and quadrennial electoral extravaganzas the masters stages for us, telling us that these rigged contests are the sum total of “politics.”

Kudos to Arlen Specter for bringing up the perspective of the trade deals we’ve made with the devil! Obama’s response is quite telling and don’t forget that he wants to expand these WTO agreements with Doha.

Ok, so Republicans won’t work with you, we get that.
So then, there’s going to be no compromise with them. Absolutey No negotiation with Democrats, sounds like our policy with terrorists doesn’t it?
Maybe that’s how they view Democrats, as threatening the power of their Corporate hold over America, and it’s looting of the country, etc.
So why can’t Democrats play by the same rules?
So then, what’s stopping you from using reconcilliation to pass single payer?
