Dean's Mission to Kill the Bill

Kill the bill seems a popular slogan these days. Tea partiers had a "kill the bill" rally the other day. Now it's Howard Dean who's doing a great job at derailing the bill. If either the public option or the Medicare expansion were in the bill, Dean wouldn't be complaining. It would be nice to have the media get someone from the administration to counter his claims.

Dean says the country is more important than either party. Exactly. Let the bill continue on to conference.

The left is getting bolder in deriding Obama. Dean: "I'm going to support President Obama when he runs for re-election---not vigorously."

Chuck Todd says there is some animosity behind the scenes between Dean and the Obama administration. Dean may be working out some disappointment in not being offered a cabinet position.
