'We Are Going To Make Mistakes'

There's some agreement that it was leaked ahead of the State of the Union address primarily to let the left fume early. Seems awkward to me.
If there's support for this idea out there, I haven't seen it, but then I only read the bloggers. Someone at Daily Kos has gathered tidbits into a nice pile of "are you crazy!"
Most also seem to know that Congress will not go along with it, and it's judged mostly a political ploy to play to the "less government" crowd and one-up the people who pander to them by actually looking like you're doing something — because you're the one with the power — rather than just jeering from the sidelines.
I think it will all go away next week, especially if Congress looks like it's going to get health care done.
But frankly, if they don't get health care done and they keep on doing stuff like this, I'm thinking that Costa Rica is sounding better and better.
Don't worry, I'll bounce back. Just need a breather.
