In a desperate move to save face, Obama is "inviting" all democratic senators to the White House today to brow beat and threaten them that something must be done on health care before the end of the year. One gets the distinct impression that it doesn't matter what it contains, as long as Obama can protect his image.
Make no mistake; this is Chicago-style politics at it's worst. If it had been an invitation, Republicans would have received one. No, he's calling in the people that he knows he can intimidate.
So what we have here is a president with 44% approval rating, directing a senate with a 28% approval rating, to pass a bill that only 34% of Americans want. Now that's representation. That's the Chicago way.
