And he went on to say even if the Health Care Bill is passed it won't go into effect until 2013!

Go Gov. Dean!!!

1. From Howard's Lips To God's Ears
Edited on Wed Feb-17-10 01:56 PM by ChoppinBroccoli
I ask this question right now: WHY is Howard Dean not Barack Obama's TOP adviser?

I'll tell you this. I have an unblemished record of 37 years of staunch heterosexuality, but I'm not ashamed to tell you that I love that man, Howard Dean. If the Democrats don't put him someplace where he has the ear of the top echelon within the Party, they DESERVE to lose. If I were Barack Obama, I'd make Howard Dean "my Rasputin" right now, (if you don't mind the historical reference).

I even think Pat Buchanan, of all people, made a good point about how Bush used reconciliation to ram through things he wanted even when he didn't have a 60-vote majority. And the theme that we as Democrats should take away from this entire discussion: people admire strength. If Obama doesn't get his ire up and start "snatching a few collars," the whole country will suffer for it.

So if I'm Obama right now, I've got a 2-point plan for how to get this thing back on track:

1. Hire Howard Dean.

2. Grow a pair.

3. Amazing isn't it? From what I thought I heard Pres. Obama say I thought Howard would be right there!

6. Good point: "people admire strength."
As Bill "Big Dog" Clinton once said, "When people are insecure, they'd rather have somebody who is strong and wrong than someone who's weak and right."

8. I Was Going To Say That Too
I couldn't decide. Was that wide-shot camera hung from a tire swing, or did they just hand it to a monkey to operate? It certainly was annoying.

9. Dean gets it. He just plain gets it.
And, yeah... why there's no room for him in the admin or the party leadership... it's a mystery, indeed. :(

Thanks for posting the video. It is WELL worth watching, despite the presence of Herr Buchanan! :D
