First off, I think Obama did a great job moderating the summit.

Secondly, I'm against scrapping the current work that's been done. The proposed step by step approach suggested by the Repo's is just another kill tactic by the Republicans to object, misinform, politicize, and stall any meaningful reform. I'm not falling for it.

Thirdly, while the current plan may not be ideal and doesn't address everyone's concerns, it's a step in the right direction. Nothing is written in stone that can't be modified in the future if necessary.

Lastly, there is a reason why both houses and the Presidency is in democrats hands. They have a large majority in both houses because that's what the people wanted. I would like to see an bi-partisan plan negotiated, but it's doubtfull that's possible in the near or distant future.

If the Majority party has the power to pass this plan by reconciliation, then so be it. It's time to both humble and humiliate the republicans and put them in their place as the minority party.
