An interesting take on what's been happening

I'd like to call your attention to a short opinion piece by Bob Burnett called "Why Did the Obama Agenda Stall?" that I found over on OpEdNews. Here's a snippet:

As Obama's principal political adviser and strategist, David Axelrod is to blame for the Administration's lack of urgency. At the beginning of 2009, Axelrod should have warned the President, "You are inheriting a mess. America is experiencing an emergency unparalleled since the beginning of World War II. Therefore, you need to create a crisis mentality - comparable to what happened after 9/11 - to rally Congress to pass your key legislative initiatives as soon as possible."

While the Dems had sixty votes they should have used thecrisis agenda justification to push as much legislation as possible to a vote. The fact that this did not happen is the fault of Harry Reid, Rahm Emanuel, and Joe Biden.

Mr. Burnett also has some interesting comments about the Republican Party and the nature of the Senate in general.
