Below is a letter from Bill Clinton earlier this month, saying the same thing that is happening to Obama happened to him when he fought for healthcare reform. Hillary would be in the same position.

So you can either complain about Obama, or you can do something now, to make sure we don't get beat again. Call, write, and call and write again. It's not Clinton's fault we didn't get the right reform, and it won't be Obama's.

"Friend --

It seems like the 1993 health care debate all over again. Back then, I led the charge for comprehensive health insurance reform. I fought tooth and nail to get it done, keenly aware that millions of Americans were living in fear that a serious illness or injury could spell economic disaster for their families. Americans needed health care reform then and we urgently need it now.

But, just as I did in 1993, President Obama has run into a buzz saw of special interest opposition to his top domestic policy priority -- health care reform. He is facing off against some of the most powerful special interests in Washington who've launched a furious campaign to preserve the status quo.

Simply put, they're at it again. That's why I'm calling on you to stand with President Obama and the DCCC in fighting for change right now. The DCCC is united in their Health Care Reform Now campaign and is trying to raise $250,000 in grassroots donations before their deadline at midnight tonight.

Contribute $5, $10, or more tonight before our deadline at MIDNIGHT and your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar.

Legislation that would lower health care costs for everyone, improve the quality of care, preserve choice and provide more coverage options for American families was introduced in the House last month - just as Speaker Pelosi promised.

But a U.S. health care system that makes quality care affordable for everyone is going to take a lot of hard work from all of us."

So you would like the stimulus to NOT work because it would look bad for Chairman Obama?

France, Germany, Japan info is straight from BBC News. News, not wishful thinking.

Well Wall Street's pocketbooks are getting healthier. Isn't that the "trickle-down" idea? At least the ice-pack is moving.

Damn straight - every day. Thanks for rallying the troops.

Also, you posted a link to a poll - was that from today? Couldn't find it.

I love it when you talk down and dirty. You're one of my favorite posters on these pages. Rant on!
