"He says 'I'm for clean coal,' and then he says it in his speeches, but he doesn't say it in here," said Sen. Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia. "And he doesn't say it in the minds of my own people. And he's beginning to not be believable to me".
It looks like Democrats are finally starting to catch on to Barack Obama's habit of giving speeches where he says one thing and then actually doing something else.
Even his pledge that nobody making under $250,000 per year would see ANY of their taxes go up now seems to be in jeopardy.
This White House continues to believe that they can govern by speech and that the actual details won't matter.
I fully expect the Democrats on Capitol Hill to commence the systematic rolling of the Obama Administration. The Presidents poll numbers are just one notch above toxic.
Congressional Democrats are starting to realize that Obama does not play in their home state, so they are distancing themselves from his policies. Those in red or purple states know that standing beside Obama will get them retired....permanently and prematurely.

They are trying to cover their bums but I suspect it is too late to do much good with the voters. That is, unless they rollback all the spending bills, put any remaining funds back in the treasury to pay down the debt, stop all future spending bills and especially the so-called Jobs Bill. Stop all ear marks big time as the American people have finally learned how this spending increases the debt and only pays congressmen's debts to campaign funders. Pass laws limiting pay increases to congress and requiring that a pay increase takes a super majority vote, instituted term limits and roll back pensions to 20% of base pay and only to those who serve 12 years.
The above will be a good start, and after doing these things they should spend their time watching the President and his men. Perhaps even starting impeachment hearings against Obama and Pelosi. The country could survive a couple years of Blundering Biden but not with Pelosi a heart beat away. BB
