I absolutely agree with Barack Obama here:

But also find it puzzling (in a good way) that his supposed "amazing" powers of persuasion had no effect over 11 members of his own party. Might it be possible that much of what we've heard about him is all hype?

In case you're wondering, the new governor is Pat Quinn ... though not the hockey coach!
