law on his political adversaries. That has been the presidents approach
on the economy, arguing that his stimulus measures of his first two
years were undone by the refusal of Republicans to enact still more
stimuli.Theres little evidence that his argument on the economy has worked.
Obama focused his re-election bid on character attacks against the Republican
nominee, allowing the president to win the election without gaining public
approval for his economic policies. And Americans increasingly believe that
less government spending, not the increases sought by the president, are
the path to prosperity.But giving the coming collision with what the president
took to calling Obamacare, Democrats are in need of an answer to
the rising problems with the law. The president is safe from voters,
but Democrats will be running for re-election just as the painful parts
kick in.And why wouldnt Republicans cling to the belief that Obamas law
could be repealed or substantially remade. Two of the presidents main allies
in enacting the law the insurance industry and Senate Democrats
are already nicking away at Obamas legacy project.By opting to rely on
the insurance industry to deliver subsidized benefits, rather than using
a government-run insurance program Obama once sought, the president has
made his law captive to the industry.As premiums soar due to new
regulations, the number of Americans who will be dumped into gover
WASHINGTON Senior Pentagon leaders are taking another look at sharply reducing
the number of unpaid furlough days that department civilians will have to
take in the coming months, suggesting they may be able to cut
the number from 14 to as few as seven, defense officials said
Thursday.If the number is reduced, it would be the second time the
Pentagon has cut the number of furlough days. It had initially been
set at 22 days.The officials say no decision has been made and
that they are not ruling out efforts to drop the furloughs entirely.
The renewed talks come as Navy leaders continue to push for eliminating
required furloughs for Navy civilians. The officials spoke on condition
of anonymity because they weren't authorized to discuss the issue publicly.Defense
officials are reviewing a range of options to determine how many furlough
days they can cut, because recent legislation gives the Pentagon more flexibility
in how it allocates the required spending cuts for this year. So
far, Pentagon leaders have insisted that civilians across all the military
services be treated equally, suggesting it would be unfair for workers in
one service to face more unpaid days off that those in another
service.Others, including members of Congress, have argued that if there
is enough money in an account to pay the civilians, the department
should do all it can to allow them to work. The fairness
debate has also cut across federal agencies, with some def

negotiators reached agreement on all the major elements of the sweeping
legislation.After months of arduous closed-door negotiations, the "Gang
of Eight" senators, equally divided between the two parties, had no issues
left to resolve in person, and no more negotiating sessions were planned.
Remaining details were left to aides, who were at work completing drafts
of the bill."All issues that rise to the member level have been
dealt with," Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement. "All that
is left is the drafting."Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois said the
bill probably would be introduced on Tuesday.The landmark legislation would
overhaul legal immigration programs, require all employers to verify the
legal status of their workers, greatly boost border security and put the
estimated 11 million immigrants living in the U.S. illegally on a path
to citizenship. A top second-term priority for President Barack Obama, it
would enact the biggest changes to U.S. immigration law in more than
a quarter century.Deals gelled over the past day on a new farm-worker
program and visas for high-tech workers, eliminating the final substantive
disputes on the legislation.Next will come the uncertain public phase as
voters and other lawmakers get a look at the measure. Already, some
on the right have made it clear their opposition will be fierce.Once
the legislation is released, it will be consider
nto the middle class. Sebelius said the expectation in the administration
was that the opponents would rally round the law and speed its
implementation once the high court had ruled.If thats true, it represents
an alarming lack of perception of politics and human nature. If it
is an exaggeration, though, it represents an early effort by Team Obama
to fix blame for missed expectations of the still-unpopular law on Republicans.Sebelius
came before the House today to seek another $1.5 billion to implement
the much-beleaguered law. Implicit in her budget request is the warning
that if Republicans do not provide additional funds to impose the law
they hate, the failure of the law would be on their heads.We
see this week, then, the beginning of the Democratic strategy for dealing
with the law, and health care in general, ahead of the 2014
elections: Yes, it stinks, but only because Republicans wouldnt help implement
it.Now, from a practical point of view one could argue that the
Republican resistance was a function of Obamas decision to go it alone
on the health law. Rather than passing a still-more-watered down version
of his promised health law with some Republican support, impatient Obama
went to ramming speed.Had Obama crafted a less audacious law to earn
bipartisan support, Republican opposition would have been more muted and
implementation would have been a much easier task.It is not surprising,
however, that Team Obama would seek to pi
