Obama is seriously dropping the ball...but not all the blame lies on him. If I recall correctly; Democrats including Harry Reid said after the election that they wouldn't be a "rubber-stamp" congress for Obama like the Republicans were up until '06. This is ridiculous mainly because they were solely elected to reverse the damage done by Republicans/Bush. Pass healthcare through reconciliation like the Republicans did for unpopular legislation like the Bush tax-cuts and move on to Immigration/Energy-they already passed the Jobs bill late last month so we're almost there!

I also have a bone to pick with Reid mainly because he's adamant that the Dream Act be bunched up with CIR, which anyone with knowledge of the current political state, know will not pass. I've been reading the different versions of the Dream Act throughout the years, it's a simple bill with simple language which could honestly be debated and voted on by both chambers in less than 2 weeks.
