Clearly the president has something to celebrate during his first week in office, but given his outreach to seek bi-partisan support, and Republicans voting no, he fully understands that in response to his hand shake, he received a clenched fist.
Thus far, it would seem nothing has changed on Capitol Hill– at least not yet. Without a doubt, Mr. Obama has work to do, and if we are reading this picture right, the GOP is not ready to play on his terms.
So the big question, however: Will the GOP support the bill as it moves to the Senate? When does President Barack change his strategy, realizing playing the bi-partisan game, could prove to be more difficult than it appears?
A victory for the President? Yes! It came, however, from the usual source– The Democrats! In the coming months expect to see the drama increase… this represents only Round One. So will the President back off… or increase his attempt to ‘woo’ Republicans?
If Dick Army’s is an example (see video) of what’s to come, President Obama has a very steep hill to climb getting his mandate for ‘Change’ implemented. So stay tuned… the show continues!
