I worked late last night and just woke up about an hour ago.  Came online, glanced at Yahooo news, then came straight to TPM.  After reading halfway down the front page and scrolling through the rest of the headlines, I want to go back to bed and hide under the covers.

Tom Daschle's reputation muddied and a good man who would've pushed through health reform lost.  Republicans determined to destroy us all.  The quote from BD sums it up well. 

Where is Obama?  Why isn't he all over the TV calling them out for what they are?  You tried working with them, O.  Now it's time to run right over them and back up a couple of times to grind in the tire marks.  Make them pay.  Make them think twice before they screw with you again.

And give us the stimulus package we NEED, not the one they're trying to jam down our throats.  Politics is dirty.  You can't get anything done if you try to stay above the fray.  All the great presidents understood that.  Even Lincoln.

Mitch McConnell and John McCain and Mr. Boner are not your father who abandoned you.  You're not going to win their approval. Give it up and get the job done.
