But why should a "fight" be necessary in the least? The bill already passed in the House when the Dumbocrats had a smaller majority than they have now, and the Dumbocratic Senate majority is even larger than in the House, with the Repugnicons obviously in no position to filibuster against the most popular US President in memory. If Obama wants it passed it will be within days. If he doesn't, it will be delayed to the Greek Kalends. And who's supposed to lead this "fight?" Andy Stern?
