It includes all the new Senators and congressmembers. All over America, people were rejecting Republican ideas in favor of Democratic ones.Eli Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00792743206074537073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14231145.post-58499613435484591622009-01-24T23:33:00.000-08:002009-01-24T23:33:00.000-08:00That's right, he won.He was gracious enough to giv...That's right, he won.<BR/><BR/>He was gracious enough to give Republicans a chance to have some input, but the fact is that they are now a very weak minority so they should be glad for the opportunity to include some things in the bill, but the American people determined that frankly they wanted Obama to be the one in charge.Eli Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00792743206074537073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14231145.post-86179137704175397812009-01-24T21:46:00.000-08:002009-01-24T21:46:00.000-08:00No, Eli.

He took on the Republican MSM and hate radio/TV and won.<BR/><BR/>True, he couldn't have won without us, but he was the one who assessed the situation and knew the time was right for him to run and win. So I think he gets the right to tell the Republican leadership, "I won."<BR/><BR/>He needed to make it clear who is in charge. He made the right call.<BR/><BR/>And I hope he continues to have the confidence to assert pressure where it is needed... domestically and in foreign policy.sandyhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13953353795729444943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14231145.post-13377751807605616102009-01-24T12:26:00.000-08:002009-01-24T12:26:00.000-08:00It's been an absolutely wonderful week.
