180. What you say about blockages from the GOP is very true. But, just think back a few

months: Reid had the chance to do something about the filibuster rule -- and he didn't.
And this after some 400+ filibusters from the GOP!!! My first impression was that he was
an easily frightened man, either that or he might be a masochist who loves being a
doormat and gladly invites the GOP to walk all over him. What is someone like that doing
in the Senate, much less as Senate Majority Leader?

Then the thought occurred to me, wouldn't he, as senate majority leader, be having
at least occasional meetings, if not regular ones, with the president? Could it be that,
for whatever reasons, that's the way they want it? I also understand that Reid can still
do something about making changes in the filibuster rule. We'll have to wait and see
how things turn out.

But at this moment, it looks like a deliberately planned thing to me. Is there some
strategy behind all this? I don't know, and I simply can't think of any reason for choosing
such a course of action.
