Obama to Democrats: We must lead

[demoleft]

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama implored Senate Democrats on Wednesday to stay aggressive in pushing their agenda despite the loss of one vital seat, saying: "We still have to lead."

Speaking to his party's senators at their strategy conference, Obama reminded Democrats they still hold a 59-41 majority, one shy of the 60 needed to overcome Republican filibuster delay tactics. Democrats lost a "super majority" when Republican Scott Brown won in a special election upset in Massachusetts.

Obama said that for Democrats searching for a lesson from that election, "The answer is not to do nothing."

"The American people are out of patience with business as usual," he said.

1. Maybe we should create a position for Party Leader, or even a leader for the government as a whole?

You know, like maybe an executive office where we could elect someone to lead the party and the nation?

Just a thought.
