Yes but the central point behind this legislation is to be to the benefit of all Americans and when you're talking about a Democratic House and Senate passing a bill on their own that isn't supposed to be of a benefit to partisanship, I believe that everyones opinions are necessary. Unfortunately, you're looking at this from Democratic eyes instead of American, and so, I have a feeling that regardless of whats said as long as it's said by Obama or someone within his campaign you would agree. If you'll remember without Senator McCain and Obama, this would be President Bush trying to pass a bill through a Democratic congress who's performance can only be described as lackluster. I know you won't appreciate me saying so, but if the bill is to truly be representative of all the people in this country (even the ones that you dont agree with) then we need all hands on deck.
