Ben Nelson Continues to Thwart Obama’s Agenda With No Repercussions

That Harry Reid really runs a tight ship, doesn’t he?

Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson joined a bipartisan effort on Wednesday to block the administration from trying the Sept. 11th suspects in civilian courts.

And before that,

Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) announced Monday evening that he will support a Republican-led filibuster over President Barack Obama’s nominee to serve on the National Labor Relations Board.

And before that,

In trouble at home and looking even more silly after Scott Brown’s victory, Sen. Ben Nelson is now trying to claim that all along, he had planned to filibuster the health care bill before the final vote if the merged bill that came back from conference didn’t include the House’s more restrictive abortion language.

Forget Reid, where’s the White House? Where’s Nelson’s Senate colleagues? Where’s Rahmbo? Is everyone just scared of Nelson?

I can’t recall a Senate Republican who dared to screw with the Bush White House like this.
