10/19/09: TWD's Agenda For This Day- Here We Go Again

It's once again judgement time on Harry Reid. But to me, it is never about him being totally "weak and unthreatening" as a Majority Leader of the biggest majority in years.

The ad’s message: The public option is not just a preoccupation of the left, and the failure to include one could (contrary to conventional wisdom) result in an inadequate reform bill that could actually end up hurting Dems in swing districts.

“I’m watching to see if Harry Reid is strong, and effective enough as a leader, to pass a public health insurance option into law,” the constituent says. “Nevadans want the choice of a public option.”

To me, if Reid really wants real reform, he would shove it down corporate lobbyist Democrats' throat that they vote, well, Democratic and for the people instead of with the lobby that screws the people.

Strength and, most importantly, the public's backing will certainly make these votes that don't exist happen.

Additional Packages: Since this post is finally early, here are some morning packages, including the Obama Administration's new refreshing move on marijuana policy that completely differs from the previous Administration's lack of scientific knowledge.

I guess it does hurt those George W. Obama talk and all.
