Monday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

The President is doing an event to honor Fathers Day. He's going to talk about the "Father’s Day Mentoring Barbeque." Later today, he's hosting a "Father’s Day Mentoring Barbeque."

The Senate should try again this week to pass the jobs bill. As I wrote over the weekend, Senators Collins and Snowe had promised to vote for cloture. After all, the legislation would help Mainers. But, as is so often the case, Collins and Snowe voted with McConnell over Mainers -- again. They're not the moderates they pretend to be.

Rahm Emanuel is back in the spotlight today. He was the guest on "This Week" yesterday. Today, rumors are abounding that he's going to quit after the midterms. Why wait? Anyway, that rumor will have everyone buzzing today -- and generate another round of stories about the effectiveness of Rahm's tenure. I think this chart with Obama's approval ratings tells that story.

Should be a busy week...
