Obama Delays Asia Trip

President Obama has delayed his upcoming trip to Asia.

Is he doing it because he plans to have a bill to sign on Monday?

Or is it because, as MSNBC suggests, he is desperately trying to rally enough support to get 216 votes in the House?

It's a good sign if it's the latter, because that indicates that Pelosi has been unable to do the work herself.

But one has to wonder what sort of tactics President Obama will use to rally that support. After the Louisiana Purchase, Cornhusker Kickback and others, I think we get a sense of what will be happening in Washington the next few days.
