Comments on: When Did We Lose Our Initiative? http://www.wholesomereading.com/2010/02/23/when-did-we-lose-our-initiative/ Musings on culture and politics by baseball writer Steven Goldman Sat, 19 May 2012 10:56:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Shaun P. http://www.wholesomereading.com/2010/02/23/when-did-we-lose-our-initiative/#comment-1584 Shaun P.

The other things that confuses me is how slow the administration has let things happen. You'd think - OK I thought - most of these people being younger, and understanding that the honeymoon wasn't going to last for ever, they'd hit the ground running and try to pass and do all sorts of stuff ASAP. Shoot, that was the planned strategy on HCR - have a bill on Obama's desk by August. Then the Senate ground everything to a halt, and the administration did . . . nothing. And here we are.
