The failure of the auto bailout is a sign of things to come. A small minority of embittered, fascist Senators will use the filibuster to destroy the Obama presidency. They actually want a Depression, so they can blame it on the Democrats.
The solution is simple. Abolish the filibuster. The Senate must work in the interests of the people, not in the interests of a few. Demanding that Senate reform is the most important step progressives can take - and I can't understand why I'm the only person who is saying this.
The American people have spoke. We voted for change. Change must first begin in the Senate.
(We also need to get a new Senate majority leader.)
