Here in the US we are into the first year of what would in any event require at least six in terms of building a coalition to attack the problem.
As long as the boring business Republicans and "Liberal" Hedge Fund Democrats agree on the basic consensus, that is a blocking group until the Hedge Fund Democrats are taken out. I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
Within two weeks, with Fox Noise leading and the rest of the corporate media acting as a mindless amplifier, the message would be reframed and re-interpreted until for a majority of the population in states with 30% of the population, sufficient to maintain 41 votes in defense of a Senate filibuster, its proof that Obama is a class warfare socialist.
And rather than going toe to toe with the Senate and duking it out, the current sham-progressive caucus in the House will hide behind that filibuster to agree to "compromises" that gut any policy response.
What is required to crack the opposition from the Senate is a reformist House with its back up, snarling and snapping with bared teeth at the Millionaire's club.
And retrofitting a backbone and teeth into the current faux-progressive caucus requires some faux-progressives getting shown the door in primaries in safe Democratic districts. I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.

Obama could have put the banks into receivership without waiting for Congress
What Obama could have done without waiting for the House is neither here nor there ... he is, after all, another Hedge Fund Democrat, and he won't go beyond the conventional wisdom without being pushed.

Because of that we will temporarily nationalise all unhealthy banks. They will be privatized when they're healthy again and we've made our money back.
"The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation will take over the banks to make sure that deposits and payment systems continue to function" would be the proper framing. The brainless should not be in banking. — Willem Buitler
When I become a politician I'll hire you as my spin doctor (and I'll get some IT consultants to remove every single thing I've ever written online about Rhodesia)... Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
