So who is really running Washington D.C.?

"Harry Reid scraps bipartisan bill"
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid led colleagues and the White House to believe he supported a bipartisan jobs bill — only to scuttle the plan as soon as it was released Thursday over concerns it could be used to batter Democratic incumbents, according to Senate sources.

I am going to have to do some checking on this. This is a big turn of events. Last I heard this bill was the BIG show that congress could work together and be bipartisan...guess this proves they can't. Not that I actually believed either side was capable of being bipartisan.

Bet Obama is not happy.

I'll bet Obama is THRILLED. Think about it...he can let Reid be the bad "non partisan" guy in this and come out clean himself.

Ya but after his big bad dressing down (lol) he gave congress at the state of union about not playing nice with each other to get things done....it makes him look weak and unimportant...congress is NOT listening to him...not even the ones in his own party. They are treating him and his words as a joke. They are blowing him off. And this time they can't blame it on the Republicans.
Obama has not won one battle he has had with Pelosi...she has come out on top each time. Same with Reid...when it comes to who has the power and who gets listened tooo..well it obviously is not the president.

Blackmail is a dirty game,no proof of citizenship Obama left his self wide open for all kinds of black mail world wide,he knew that going in but to play act president of the United States he give not crap what happen to our country.
Obama is not running the show he only wants to play president,he dose what ever he is told to do that is the rule of the dirty citenship black mail game,Obama goes along or other wise he dose not get to play president,oh please any one born in Hawaii need not pay 1.7 million buck to lawyers and courts to conceal their long form birth certificate, how stupid are people really.
Gov Randell of Pa a guy who to me on the outside seems to be a O.K. kind of guy he was on Fox's this morning he is so it sound to me very pissed off about Harry Reid doing this.

From what I am reading about this...Reid caught everyone off guard. Even Pelosi who does not sound happy about it. Reid just could not stand ANYTHING bipartisan going on. So both sides work on the bill and actually agree on a bill (shocker) and Reid turns around and kills it and writes his own bill.
Reid is determined that it will be "his" way or no way. I soo hope he does not get re-elected.
