Vice President Biden and “Humility”

The Vice President just emphasized the need to be “humble” in attempting to divine the wishes of the American people.  The tone is interesting, as here is what Senator Biden said in 2005 about jamming provisions through the Senate on a partisan, 51-vote margin: “…Ultimately an example of the arrogance of power.  It is a fundamental power grab….I pray God when the Democrats take back control we don’t make the kind of naked power grab you are doing.”  Yet reports even going into the summit have outlined how the majority will soon take steps to jam a health bill through under the reconciliation process.  So much for “humility” on the part of Democrats…
