Thursday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

Today, the President is announcing a plan to regulate in the big banks. Could this be a break through on a key issuee -- and a sign of leadership from Obama? Chris will have more on that shortly.

Lots and lots of hand-wringing here in DC among the professional Democrats after Scott Brown's election. You'd think he is now the Senate Majority Leader and Speaker of the House by the way some people are acting. And, one might actually conclude that Brown's election gave the GOP a majority in the Senate, instead of leaving the Democrats with only an 18-seat advantage.

I just keep thinking about Obama's demand to have health care reform done by August -- and where we'd be if that had happened. Nice work delaying that by the House Blue Dogs and Senator Max Baucus, who were enabled by Rahm Emanuel, Jim Messina -- and Obama himself. Thanks again.

Let's get threading...
