All in all, this was a pretty shameful day for Washington, but
this effort is not over''-- President Obama in the Rose Garden denouncing
the bipartisan Senate vote to block expanded background checks for firearms
purchases.An angry President Obama vented his frustrations with Congress
after several of his fellow Democrats helped block gun-control legislation
in the Senate. Denouncing the lies of his political opponents and calling
the day shameful, Obama vowed to fight on.But there seems to be
little fear of Obamas anger.The president promised that he would mobilize
his supporters to push his agenda, defy history to make midterm election
gains and thereby avoid lame-duck status. But its apparent that many of
his fellow Democrats either dont think he is serious or dont believe
he can make it stick.Theres reason for them to disbelieve.Obamas strategy
of battering Republicans with a series of painful votes to make midterm
gains for his party depends on getting Democrats to take politically risky
stances. If Obama cannot threaten or entice Democrats to vote his way,
though, the plan cannot work.As the vote on gun control approached, Obama
did hit the campaign trail as promised to speak in support. But
it was a muted measure. Obama didnt visit the home states of
Democratic holdouts or use his online network to hold major rallies or
organize his community to knock on doors.After the first test of Obamas
new model, he has nothing to show. Had
The chairmen of President Obama's 2010 fiscal commission are wading back
into Washington's budget wars with a revised, somewhat milder plan to rein
in intractable federal deficits.The plan released Thursday by and former
Sen. Alan Simpson, R-Wyo., and former Clinton White House chief of staff
Erskine Bowles would lop more than $5 trillion from deficits over the
upcoming decade when combined with the deficit-cutting steps enacted in
fits and starts since his 2010 proposal.It's unclear what impact the updated
plan will have on a capital that's bitterly split over taxes, spending
and government debt. The initial Simpson-Bowles plan won warm reviews from
deficit hawks but got a chilly reception from Obama and much of
the rest of official Washington for its tough mix of tax increases
and cuts to benefits programs like Medicare and Social Security.The revised
plan by Simpson and Bowles reveals a familiar mix of revenue collected
by cleansing the tax code of deductions, cutting agency budgets and curbing
the growth of Social Security and Medicare.Simpson and Bowles would add
$2.5 trillion in new deficit cuts over 2014-2023 on top of about
$2.7 trillion estimated to have already been enacted through cuts to agency
budgets and January's tax increase on wealthier earners. It assumes $1.2
trillion in across-the-board spending cuts imposed for the failure of Washington
to replace them are repealed.The revised blueprint arrives as Washington
