Obama demanding yes or no; Public support at stake
As President Obama made his press conference on Wednesday, March 3, wheels began to pick up the pace on both the Republican and Democratic sides. In legislation that implicates many of the same subjects that so heavily have been debated to date; the American citizens are not only showing they care by electoral upsets, but are tuning in to a news outlet in overwhelming rates.
Outlined in his speech, the President is stressing both sides of the political carpet to make a decision. Many are no longer looking for a "Super Majority", but now willing to seek a yes or no by putting the bill through reconcilliation. Enabling passing of the bill will only need a simple majority of both House and Senate. Having been used in the past, it must also be noted that every time a highly controversial bill be passed with limited support powers of congress have swung from one political party to the other.
