Top Democrats bailing on Obama Left and Middle: Cap & Tax, Health Care takeover: “
Even more bad news for Obama. Adding to declining poll numbers, and a string of mid-summer set-backs, a number of very prominent House and Senate Democrats, are now openly opposing the administration, from Cap and Trade to Obama Care.

Climate Change Measure Should Be Set Aside, U.S. Senators Say
The U.S. Senate should abandon efforts to pass legislation curbing greenhouse-gas emissions this year and concentrate on a narrower bill to require use of renewable energy, four Democratic lawmakers say.
‘The problem of doing both of them together is that it becomes too big of a lift,’ Senator Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas said in an interview last week. ‘I see the cap-and-trade being a real problem.’
Ben Nelson of Nebraska and North Dakota Senators Kent Conrad and Byron Dorgan joined Lincoln in suggesting that the climate measure be put off.
And on the Health Care takeover, even bigger news.
A top Hard Left Liberal Congressman, John Murtha of Pennsylvania, tells CNN that: A bill to overhaul the nation’s ailing health-care system may not pass until January or later…
Murtha told a reporter in Bentleyville, PA:
‘We said, ‘No, no, we want some time to think about this.’ We’re taking some time to make sure it’s done right. I don’t know that we’ll get something done before January, and even then we may not get it done. We’re going to do it right when it’s finally done.’
