Senate's own Drama Queen Caucus, the President has at last his stimulus bill or most of it at least.
What he does not have, is that new era of bipartisan comity of which he made so much on the campaign trail.
He got no votes from the Republicans in the House, he grabbed off three GOP inconstancies in the Senate....after that nada.
Indeed I'm not sure how much bipartisan bonhomie the President can realistically expect given the current state of the GOP. The House is full of armchair revolutionaries, the Senate is groaning with gaseous nullities and the whole lot are as bereft of ideas as they are of goodwill.
Where exactly we go from here isn't clear.
I can tell you though, it will be much the same as we go forward towards foreclosure relief, health care, the enviroment...judicial nominations the works.
What we saw last week is prologue largely for the rest of President Obama's first term.
