What a difference a day makes! Just twenty four hours ago, Obama was probably ready to throw himself in front of an Amtrak north-bound clipper (see yesterday's blog). But as of today it appears-although details are still lacking- several nations, including China, have agreed to major climate control initiatives; and the Senate has agreed to some sort of health care reform measure leaving Joe Lieberman no reason to hold the nation hostage any longer. Details about this are also absent-at least as of this writing. So the president must be feeling better about things. All he has to do now is get the House of Representatives-a much more liberal body than the Senate-to agree to the Senate's version of the bill and his wish to have it done by Christmas will be granted. Merry Christmas, Mr. President.
