[Moment 1 was 60 Democratic senators coming together on health care just about a year ago.]
Hello Everyone,Another great moment in consensus -- the UN Security Council vote authorizing the use of force in Libya. There were negotiations that took place leading to the vote, support from the various political groups including the Arab League, and discussion with potential opponents.
Most of all, Russia and China, while disagreeing with the proposal, were willing to stand aside ("thumbs sideways") rather than blocking ("thumbs down").
Regards, David
