To it, i mean, getting along with people is obviously great. but he showed no and whatsoever to engage on substance during the health care debate at all and the only level of engagement has been through twitter and its not positive. i think we have been looking for a grand strategy to think hes playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers. i dont see it. its -- i mean, theres also speculation that maybe hes trying to isolate himself completely from the hill so that if and when the hill ...
