Pelosi: “I don't even want to talk about a trigger”

Good:

Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine), who is being courted by the Obama administration as their best hope for getting a Republican to sign on to President Barack Obama’s healthcare initiative, supports a trigger. But Pelosi does not.

“I don't even want to talk about a trigger,” Pelosi said at her weekly press conference. She said the “attitude” of her fellow Democrats is that “a trigger is an excuse for not doing anything.”

The "trigger" is a concoction of Snowe and Rahm Emanuel. It's a gimmick and not everyone is falling for it.

The Obama administration (meaning Rahm Emanuel) spends way too much time courting Olympia Snowe when there are 60 Democrats in the Senate. That's a filibuster-proof majority.

And, in the House, the bloc of progressives who won't vote for a final bill unless it includes a strong public option are standing strong, according to Greg Sargent. Guess that means Rahm will have to rush to the Hill to scream and swear at the liberals because they actually support Obama's stated agenda.
