Sam Stein over at HuffPo interprets the failure of any republican to vote "yes" as a "rebuke" to Obama.  WTF?  Thick heads abound.  Obama played the republicans like a fiddle.  He made two separate visits to them on the Hill and made significant concessions to them in the bill. They still voted "no" and were outed as the obstructionist pigs they are.  Further, the measure by which the vote won showed that they are no longer relevant in the House of Representatives.  The bill passed handily without a single republican vote.  That means we don't need them in the House at all for any reason.  They can piss off.  What's more, this gives the Dems in the Senate a rational basis to strip the measure of the unnecessary concessions that were made because they meant nothing anyway.  All Obama needs is one republican vote, by my count, and apparently Olympia Snowe is planning to deliver it.  Obama is, once again, a genius, and republicans can't find their pants.  The media narrative (Andrea Mitchell was doing it too) that this was some sort of defeat for Obama is laughable. When did Sam Stein become such a moron?
