The Obama steady-as-he-goes machine, no-drama Obama is picking up momentum. I predict the economy will be rolling by 2012 with help from China. War costs will still be present, but one war and not two. People will begin to appreciate affordable healthcare for all Americans and the current House vote will bite Republicans in the behind, and that is where they will be in 2012.

Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) has said he will not allow a similar vote.”
