After the Joint Session of Congress and the introduction of a bill by Senator Baucus, it is time to check the polls.

Oh wait, his approval rating is exactly the same as the last time we did this. 51%. Clearly, the American public did not think that the legislatures were “playing games” as our President claimed they were. While that was quite the rousing speech (not hard to do when your party is the majority), the same citizens are still mad about the public option and the inability of the democrats to compromise. But, hey, whatever. There was a big speech and the guy in charge said it needed to be done this way so that’s how it is going to happen.
