Brit Hume's Commentary: 11/9

" The Obama administration's health care push and other priorities have had a galvanizing effect on one party. The Republicans senior political analyst for humans here with some thoughts on that -- There's a lot of chatter in the media these days about how divided Republicans are but the real story is how united GOP's been this year. After their wipe out losses in 2006 and 2008. One of -- what would have expected a wave of recrimination and a bitter internal thorough maybe later but on the main issues of this year. Economic stimulus package in the Obama health care plan republics and have stood in near unanimous opposition. While Democrats have struggled a round of votes despite their large majorities in both houses. The person most responsible for this is no Republican leader. The President Obama himself. His policies have made it easy for Republicans of all stripes to oppose it. This -- think how different it would be it the president insisted on mixing in some tax rate cuts with the spending extravagantly in that stimulus bill. That would have attracted Republican vote the president to claim a bipartisan victory. And provided Democrats some political cover not to mention potentially economic benefits. On health care suppose the president embraced lawsuit reform and supported the sale of health insurance across state lines. His basement objected but it would have been a lot more than one Republican vote for the bill in the house of representatives on Saturday night. As it is the president and his party have full ownership of the unemployment rate and health care bill now opposed by more than half the public. Didn't have to be. Britain could present Obama turn this around. Well he could Bill Clinton did but remember Bill Clinton didn't do that. Until after his party had lost both houses of congress in the mid term election. Were only year in Goldman was at a real history is economists democratic centrist co-founder and democratic leadership council. Barack Obama never had any history in that regard. And he's only one year in my guess is that he's gonna change course you're not gonna do -- any time soon we'll have to wait the results of the 2000. Ten midterm elections and maybe not imminent and it looks like an uphill battle for bipartisan support and -- well. The Senate will have to have more bipartisan support them how effective. Then northward path but even though. It looks to me is if they're gonna have to watered down bill that they have now it pistons now how's. Things."
