Brown Victory, Great For Obama?

The Democrats, Obama included, lost their political courage last year due to having a 60 vote, filibuster busting majority.

They felt invincible, and no one is invincible in Washington.

They become complacent and let the Republicans win the PR struggle even though the country was demanding a shift away from Republican policies.

The Brown victory in Massachusetts could have been the best thing to happen to the Dems because quite literally they have had a fire lighted under their collective butts. It is time to get things done and Obama's State of the Union was a resounding call to arms.

The focus has shifted to jobs and Obama has the fight back.

My prediction is that this year we will see more of the fiery and passionate Obama our country stood behind in 2008, rather than the politician that was focused on the bi-partisanship that never was possible due to the Republicans "Just Say No" strategy.

Game On.

Here's hoping your glass half full outlook is right. "Playing nice" doesn't work when half the players don't know how. Let's hope the game begins....finally.
