In obvious reaction to the “Scott Heard ‘Round The World,” Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi admitted today that she doesn’t have enough votes to pass the current version of Obamacare recently passed by the Senate.
Pelosi claims, “moderates in her caucus have raised doubts about forging ahead without bipartisan support, while liberals rejected the Senate bill as not going far enough.”
The Washington Post acknowledges in this article, “Republican Scott Brown’s victory Tuesday in a Senate special election in Massachusetts blindsided Obama and Democratic leaders.”
In a much less confrontational tone than we saw before the election of Republican Scott Brown, Senate Majority Leader Reid says, “We’re not going to rush into anything. Remember, the bill we passed in the Senate is good for a year. There are many different things that we can do to move forward on health care, but we’re not making any of those decisions now.”
Perhaps the dictatorial Democrat leadership is heeding the decision of voters in electing Republican Scott Brown to take over the safest seat they felt they held in the Senate, the one formerly occupied by Ted Kennedy.
One thing it appears not yet to sink in to Pelosi and Reid is that what their “rank and file” members in the House and Senate want isn’t as important as what “We The People” want.
