Great piece in the Financial Times about Obama compromising on the healthcare and cap-and-trade bills moving through congress. Is mediocre legislation still a step in the right direction? I think Obama needs to pull a Martin Sheen in West Wing and take control of these bills to make sure they have teeth. As it stands now its all gums. Maybe Al Franken coming to the senate will help. Although its going to be tough to get to a filibuster proof 60 votes with Senators Kennedy and Byrd on their death beds. chew here.
