It seems to me that the republicans are overplaying the "do nothing" hand toward Obama. I don't think the public is going to tolerate forever this do nothing and then complain about nothing getting done attitude that the republicans are trying to exploit.

Take for example today. The republicans are trying to get away with totally rejecting every single aspect of what the democrats have done. While some of the parts of the dems bill are disposable, the whole bill isn't. Even the USA Today editorial staff agreed with that. And Obama says he's willing to include some of the republican's measures in the bill. But the republicans, trying desperately to keep this pseudo-momentum going, are saying that the "whole bill has to be scrapped and start over." This is just a code name for do nothing. Obama is going to win this cat and mouse game over time. The republicans are looking just like they really are - phoney, not interested in solving problems, and playing the lowest kind of political game.

It's a dangerous game, and one which could lead a lot of pundits to have egg on their face come november.
