I think they will pass SCHIP first, then slowly work on Health care Package as a relief portion to Auto bailout, since it adds 1200 to cost of each auto produced..

There are more Dems on the Committee and in order for Joe to move forward he will need consensus from within the Dem caucus. His hands are literally tied by the Dem majority.

Keeping him, in that position would be a continuing threat to our national security ans sanity!
We should put him just where he wants it, in the underdog position.

I don't care about the names. All I care about is competence. Adequate for me ain't good enough. I don't care what race, I don't care what party, I just want people that can carry out the orders of the POTUS!

ot- I had twenty buddies and their famileies , that believed that demonizing each other would not work. We came to a decision not to allow our comrades make a wrong decision.
So we had a Fishing tournement.
Took them out of the election
Little did we know some of them went for Obama and voted before the event.
WE cried together, and became stronger Americans!

We don't need no stinking 60! All the O has to do is talk to America. We are not red or blue America, we are Americans...All he has to do is explain to America, what has to be done. We will listen and decide on our own. And if we believe he is right we will respond with a vengence.
We don't need not 60, We need us!
It is all about us!

Obama should recall Shinseki, to head the Joint Chiefs of Staff...He put together the Army that went inot Baghdad and fullfilled their mission; and warned Congress that there were not enough troops to do the job right!

Hagel would be good for Sec of the Army or the VA...Not Sec Def...Not enough knowledge of the inter service command...Just my opinion.

With all due respect, I think that the present SecDef, is not only competent but a balanced one. By keeping him (the present Sec Def) Obama will have one less battle as he goes through the first 100 days. And Obama still has the option of removing him.
Right now we need stability and a clear direction to the future.

Yes, I served in the military and proud of it. However, I don't believe in wars; never was a jingoist so to speak...In my era many served without choice, yet did so at great sacrifice. We need to work together to make it a better place.
But demonizing those that serve doesn't help.
We need to re-instill the reason for a military.
It is for protection, not agression.
We need to get behind service for America, the Peace Corps, VISTA, Job Corps and other NGO's we can believe in.
In times of crisis, the National Guard, Coast Guard and Air Force are needed.
I believe that Obama can bring back the balance we need in service to America.

By the way the fishing tournament was a success!
