Democrats chafe as White House wavers on health care bill

This story written by Carrie Brown illustrates who the administration is now essentially at square one in the health care debate. This is due to the fact the senate does not have enough votes for passing the current bill and the house does not want to pass the senate bill. This has left the congress looking to President Obama for directions and frustrated they have not found the answers they are looking for. Sen Bill Nelson from Florida summed this up by asserting, "The president has not been engaged like he should". This comment demonstrates how the Massachusetts election has dramatically shifted the power structure in the in the senate even though the democrats still have a 59-41 lead.
