Reid: 'I Can't Get the Votes the Obozo Plan'

If you were paying attention during the National Handwringing, you'd notice what the MFM has not.  (It's only the size of a 6,000 lb. elephant, after all....)

...This morning, we have been trying to come up with some counteroffer to my friend’s [Mitch McConnell] proposal. We have been unable to do that. I have had a number of conversations with the president, and at this stage we’re not able to make a counteroffer....

Reid has been on the sidelines because his party is NOT entirely composed of Marxists.  He cannot get them behind the SCOAMF's plan, and he cannot let them vote on a common-sense plan because it will look a lot like the House's original position.
