ObamaCare Strategy Sabotages Bipartisan Summit
by Brian DarlingPresident Barack Obama’s highly anticipated Blair House Summit was sold as a bipartisan negotiation on ObamaCare between House and Senate leaders of both parties. The White House claims that this day long meeting is an opportunity for the American people to witness a negotiation between Republicans and Democrats. If you tune into this event, you will not see any negotiation. You will witness a desparate President trying sell a warmed over version of ObamaCare. Even for a President well known for his exceptional ability to communicate, the Administration’s attempts to sell a plan that is offensive to a substantial majority of Americans has proven to be an epic failure.
The fact of the matters is that in anticipation of this so called negotiation, the Democrats are crafting a reconciliation strategy. Reconciliation is a fast track partisan strategy for the Democrats to change the rules of the game so they can avoid a filibuster in the Senate. I call this new strategy to pass Obamacare the Health Care Nuclear Option because it will blow up what remains of bipartisanship in the Capitol and put the United States on a pathway to European style government run health care.
Furthermore, the American people explicitly reject ObamaCare and don’t want it. So much for consent of the governed. This Summit is going to be a day long press conference for President Obama and the ObamaCare Cheerleading Squad to try one last time to sell the President’s health care plan that includes unpopular mandates, higher taxes and cuts to health care providers.
The President’s health care summit was supposed to be an opportunity for Republicans and Democrats to get in a room to negotiate a bipartisan health care reform bill. Not gonna happen. From the AP:
Here’s one point on which Democrats and Republicans agree on health care: President Barack Obama’s much-touted televised summit has virtually no chance of breaking the political logjam. That means Democrats will be forced to find a way to pass an overhaul on their own or face a huge political defeat.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said “I’m not quite sure what the purpose is. It seems the President has already made up his mind.” And liberal columnist Ruth Marcus wrote for the Washington Post, “the real target of presidential bidding is his own party — specifically House Democrats.” This is true. The Democrat Leadership in the House have to convince Blue Dogs and pro-life Democrats to walk the plank and further endanger these member’s chances of coming back to Washington next year as members of Congress. Basically, this Administration is asking moderate House Democrats to commit political suicide to help pass ObamaCare.
The Senate will be a bit easier, because the Health Care Nuclear Option only requires a simple majority, therefore the Democrats only need 50 Senators to go along with the plan with Vice President Biden providing the deciding vote. This would provide Senator Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.), Jim Webb (D-Va.) and other moderate Democrats an opportunity to vote with a majority of Americans and against ObamaCare. This is called inside the Beltway a cover vote, because these moderate Senate Democrats can vote against ObamaCare after they voted for it. If reconciliation passes the House, it will be game over. Although Republican Senators will have opportunities to raise points of order and force tough votes, they will not be likely able to defeat the bill.
Although the liberals point to to the many times that reconciliation has been used, it would be unprecedented to use reconciliation to pass ObamaCare. Reconciliation is unusual for the following three issues:
- Reconciliation has not been used in the past as the procedure of last resort – Last November, the House passed a version of Obamacare by just a five-vote vote margin. That bill contained a public option, strong anti-abortion language and an income surtax on wealthy individuals, but it has been tossed aside in this new strategy. On Christmas Eve the Senate passed ObamaCare with no public option, a provision that allows federal monies to go to abortion and a tax on high-cost health plans. The House plan passed by 5 votes and the Senate plan passed on a party line vote. When Senator Scott Brown (R-Mass) was elected, they tossed aside the regular rules and are now using the Health Care Nuclear Option.
- Reconciliation has not been used in the past to amend a bill that has not passed – It is unprecedented to use reconciliation to amend a bill that has not been signed into law yet. The plan is for the House to pass the Senate version of ObamaCare, then for the House and Senate to use the Health Care Nuclear Option to pass a new bill that amends the old bill. It is very confusing and they want it that way. The liberals are using a special procedure to amend ObamaCare in a way they could not do without reconciliation. This has never happened.
- Reconciliation has not been used in the past as a means to pass a bill before the American people are allowed to participate in the process- The White House is promoting a quick approval of ObamaCare through reconciliation to steamroll the American people. Robert Reich, former Clinton Secretary of Labor, argues “my free advice to the President: If you want to get health care enacted you must use reconciliation and quickly.” They want to get it passed quickly, because they know the American people don’t like the core of the bill. Reich argues that “Republicans have done a far better job scaring Americans about health care reform than any pollster has been able to uncover.” Translated into English this means that they are worried that if the American people are allowing time to read the President’s new proposal and review it, then there could be a problem with passage. Therefore, pass it quick before the American people can have a say. It is unprecedented to use reconciliation as a means to ignore the will of the American people.
The most offensive part of this charade on the part of the President is that they are rejecting the will of the American people. The American people reject ObamaCare by wide margins. The most convincing evidence of this is polling data compiled at Real Clear Politics (From 1/20-2/22 the average ObamaCare poll is 38.4% support and 52.3% oppose it for an average ObamaCare deficit of 13.9%). Following list are the polling companies that have found recently an intense hatred of ObamaCare among the American people: Rasmussen Reports – 15% Oppose v Support ObamaCare; Pew Research – 12% Oppose v Support ObamaCare; Quinnipiac – 19% Oppose v Support ObamaCare; Ipsos/McClatchy – 14% Oppose v Support ObamaCare; and, CNN/Opinion Research – 20% Oppose v Support ObamaCare. Those numbers are damaging enough, yet the election of Scott Brown in liberal Massachusetts, a candidate who ran a campaign to be the 41st vote to obstruct and defeat ObamaCare, should remove any doubt that the American people have rejected ObamaCare.
We live in a nation that treasures the idea of consent of the governed. The American people should not be fooled by this so called bipartisan summit, because it is merely press conference for the President to sell his legislation. It is shocking that liberals in Congress are trying to use the Health Care Nuclear Option, a partisan means to ram the bill through the House and Senate, at a time when the American people await this summit that has been marketed as a negotiation between the two parties. The Health Care Nuclear Option talk may have sabotaged the Blair House Bipartisan Summit and exposed this Administration and liberal Democrats for trying to have it both ways.

"The American people reject ObamaCare by wide margins"
Not only that, the American people reject Obama, and will formally reject him in 2012. Today is the big day for the big Blair House summit. Theyshould have thought ahead and made it into a "kegger". Turn it into the Blair Beer Hall Putsch……..
Mandatory heath care is unconstitutional and therefore illegal.
thankfully I have a bunch of appointments today…won't be watching a minute of the kabuki theater….hopefully I can see highlights of a bunch of GOP members walking out….
I have a serious question.
This meeting is supposed to last for six hours. How on earth will Obama be able to talk that long without his teleprompter, ot at least someone whispering in his ear?
There is no end to the whining and complaining from you partisan hacks. First you demand that the process be transparent, out in the open. This session today is about as transparent as you can get, and now you dismiss it as "theater." This is the kind of pathetic behavior that non-partisans see through.
I don't like the bill either because it forces everyone to buy the insurance companies' faulty product. Anyone calling this "socialist" needs to get out of the Fox/Rush/Beck box. It's a giveaway to industry, just like every other bill that comes out of Congress. They are controlled by corporate masters and this Democrat/Republican sideshow is a distraction to make us believe we have a choice. Try this on for size: the entire health care push has been an intentional distraction to divert our attention from the financial sector and Wall Street crooks who almost brought our economy down. Bring up an issue as big and controversial as health care, and you don't have to worry about the public's demand to reign in Wall Street crooks who own the government.
Bipartisan my ass. Chris Dodd: "'You can either join us or get out of the way'" To the Donks, 'bipartisan' means "shut up and vote like you're told."
Good point. He's going on television for 6 hours without the tele? Won't beleive it until I see it. That will really blow the cover on this "summit" being nothing of the sort. Just another Obumble infomercial on something we don't want.
I don't see the man being able to say howdy without a script. Evidently that is why he bows a lot; he's at a loss for words……….
Popcorn and pretzels for kabuki theatre. Bet there are Teleprompters stategically located throughout the room so the Obumbler can look anywhere and get his fix.
His purported "exceptional ability to communicate," may be precisely why so many are against this bill. He has overwhelmingly communicated a contempt for middle America. A large group of people in LA support the bill, and a large group of people in D.C. support the bill. I know that everything in between is just , "flyover" country, but please remember, flyover country is the part of America "clinging to God and guns." We trust God with our well being, and guns with our liberty.
Flyover country overwhelmingly does not support this bill. It would behoove those in positions of representative authority to heed the will of those they are supposed to represent.
Obama's "healthcare reform" is the biggest fraud and scam yet perpetuated against the American people. Healthcare is nothing but a huge power-grab to pay off cronies and the "chosen few" such as General Electric (GE).
Did you notice that GE is already running television commercials praising how they're going to "help" facilitate healthcare? I think GE's commercial of the guy sitting in his underwear while about 200 people are staring at him says it all. Do you want ALL your medical records available to ANYONE that can hack a computer?
In the spirit of the issue at hand, they'll hook it up to life support in the event of a malfunction.
Seriously, I'd go with multiple backups as their first option. Or, maybe he'll give a speech at the beginning and end, with the middle reserved for Pelosi and Reid and their cronies.
If Obama was REALLY interested in bipartisan input, he would have NOT locked them out for a year!!! And NOW he wants US to believe he is willing to listen??? Don't think so! All he wants is 6 hours of US listening to him try to convince US why HE knows better than us what we want!!! What a bunch of Democratic garbage!!
Fox News reporting that the Obama Admin may have a "Plan B" – a slimmed down version of ObamaCare. Details not clear at this point.
Sheesh! Barry’s gonna have his little infomercial on deathcare. Whilst the press dutifully reports the meeting as a “bipartisan” discussion – - sending the message their lord and savior so desperately needs to Rahm it down our throats. If they attempt to move this monstrosity via reconciliation lets be certain to return the favor in 2010, 12, 14, etc. and ram some things down their throats. Pay back is hell!
Obama is starting to treat recalcitrant Dems the way he treats the people. Basically, by telling them to shut up, he knows what is best, do like you are told.
Sen. Dodd summed it up perfectly. "You can either join us or get out of the way." Ostensibly aimed at the Republicans, but can be directed at 8 Democratic Senators and 40 or so Democratic Representatives. They don't need them all – they just need enough of them.
I give it a 40% chance of passing as it stands. Too many Dems know the people don't want it.
The Fresh Prince Of Bill Ayers NEVER had a "health care" plan, his only plan since day one was undermining the American people and installing socialism as a replacement for capitalism.
I'll be looking for the number of two word slogans Obama uses to sell this overdone Health Care fiasco.
Afterall, the administration doesn't think we, the American people, are intelligent enough to understand all the nuances of Health Care.
496,000 New unemployment claims this week….
Narcissistic leadership is about theatre, not about life.
The narcissistic leader prefers the sparkle and glamour of well-orchestrated
illusions to the tedium and method of real accomplishments. His reign is all
smoke and mirrors, devoid of substances, consisting of mere appearances, lies and mass
delusions.
Hey Chris Dodd:
Re: "'You can either join us or get out of the way'"
Guess you are a man of your word…you are not seeking re-election of your Senate seat. Guess you are getting out of "OUR" way.
We do not want Obamacare. We are a republic…not a socialist country. We are also smart enough to see a "tax grab" when we see one.
We WILL root out and remove each and everyone of your socialist buddies…and we will do this with one weapon…"OUR VOTE"
Good bye…socialist Obots…you will not be missed.
Regards,
We the People
WTF is going on ? Just say NO ; no more $$$$, no more B.S., no more marxist plots, no more $$$$ for obamasoros. Finito !!! No mas !!! No more looney-tunes (sorry Bugs) That's all folks !!!!!!!!
Don't these dipsticks get it. Control health care "costs". Freeze health care prices today, then reduce the compensation by 50%. If government is the single payer the recipients of the pay will really increase prices. My insurance company actually negotiates rates for me. The problem isn't paying , it's the bloated, overpriced hospitals , doctors , nurses, clinics, drug companies, yadda, yadda, yadda. Oh, but by the way, I'm entitled to the BEST health care your money can buy!!!! Screw everybody, let God sort them out.
Does everyone know that GE Healthcare strives to be one stop shopping for hospitals. Look at their business units. The healthcare unit has nearly every peice of equipment that a hospital would need. They are even selling disposble items now. And do not think they are not getting contracts making them a single source provider for large health care systems. Wake up and look at what these mega companies are doing and selling. Look for their WIFM (what is in it for me) when they support of one presidental candidate over another.
Piglosi has a zipper installed on her mouth lately.
Probably a cheap bottle of generic aspirin.
Wall Street Journal Reports that Admin may have ObamaCare-lite ready to go expanding Medicare and SCHIP if Nuke Option fails
a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down, candy is dandy but liqueur is quicker
Funny.
You read the thread here yesterday where the Department of Homeland In-Security "lost" 1,000 computers? Just think how many healthcare records could be stored on 1,000 computers, and we are expected the government to be good stewards of our information?
Desperate to Advance His Agenda, Obama Adds Bacon to Widely Unpopular Health Care Bill http://optoons.blogspot.com/2010/02/desperate-to-...
Not to worry. Valerie Jarrett will be there to keep him in line….
This health scare bill is equivalent to going to the emergency room with a broken arm and the docs amputate. Then give you electroshock treatment to boot!
Is this "reconciliation" move the vote of a simple majority or a majority of simpletons?
Notice that? She sure is quiet!
Me thinks she is trying to distance herself, looking for cover, in case it implodes………
Glad you agree on the second paragraph. Establishment Dems and Reps have propped up the Wall Street system of perpetual debt and slow draining of the middle class for decades (also thanks to the Federal Reserve). One need look no further than Obama's appointments to his economic team to see that he too is a tool of Wall Street.
(but you're wrong on global warming. One season in one part of the world does not disprove anything, and NOAA has reported that 2000-2009 was the hottest decade on record. If you take an objective look at all the information, you cannot dispute that warming is continuing and accelerating.)

Is this guy the new Rush?
Waiting for that little book that will simplify things for us.
Interestingly enough, and there was just a snippett of a comment from Ben Bernanke today that word is just coming out of Greece about the role Goldman Sachs played in their economic disaster. Goldman Sachs sold the bonds and financial derivatives on the one hand, and then sold them short and bet against them on the other hand.
Regarding your global warming paragraph, it is a hoax. I have watched this unfold now for a generation. Since the first earth day, since the first green weenie appeared, and it is nothing more than a goddamned inmitigated scam. It is the largest scam ever perpetrated upon human kind, all brought to US courtesy of Goldman Sachs.
Lucy Obama: Ok Charley, I'll hold the foot-ball and you kick it.
Charlie Republican: Duh… ok… run run run… wiff… thud.
Let's have an honest plan for ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS, a plan with patient's rights, no rationing, no cutting and no death panels (or whatever you call them now). Include ALL Americans, THAT INCLUDES OBAMA (if he is a citizen), OBAMA'S FAMILY, ALL OF CONGRESS and NO ILLEGALS. Since Obama and his puppet Congress have lost public trust it will need to be absolutely clear, transparent (recognize that word?) and open to public discussion until ALL problems are resolved!
If you can't do that then, GET OUT OF OUR FACE!!!
IF THE HEALTH BILL IS SO GREAT, THEN WHY DID CONGRESS SPECIFICALLY WRITE THEMSELVES OUT?
Congress is NOT Included in the Health Bill!

I find this depiction of obama insulting.
never compare earthly man with Christ Jesus or with God.
to me its blasphemy.
JPA, JPA, JPA . . . enough with the class warfare rhetoric. Wall Street crooks, Wall Street fat cats, corporate masters this, Insurance companies that . . .
Save the "Workers of the World" diatribe for your SEIU and Moveon.org rallies and offer up some useful solutions.
How about free-market solutions? opening up insurance plans across state lines? tort reforms? massive cuts in spending coupled with more tax cuts. JPA, re-distribution of wealth and sticking it too the "corporate masters" will not solve the so-called health care crisis.
President Obama kicks off "negotiation" with stump speech sans teleprompter

Suggest you change the chest logo. Obama has come out of the closet with his new Missile Defense Agency Logo featuring the Islamic flag's Crescent moon and star!
Suggest all Natural Born Citizen's seriously consider the words of former President, Ronald Reagan: “One of the traditional methods of imposing Statism or Socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. It’s very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project" but he also said "most people in America oppose “socialized medicine” when given the choice. From here, it’s a short step to all the rest of socialism,”. Then a private citizen Ronald Reagan speaks out against socialized medicine. Hear what he said in his own words, then weep for the state of this union including its lack of any comprehensible leadership, now just 50 years later:

Mr. O'Bama:
You are intent on passing this 'Health Care Reform Bill' (?) for the People. The People have clearly stated the majority do not want it.
"It’s time for the one-day summit on health care legislation. Forty-one percent (41%) of voters favor the plan proposed by the President and Congressional Democrats while 56% are opposed. On the health care topic, 51% fear the government more than they fear private insurance companies."( from Rasmussen report today)
This is a larger majority than those that voted you into office!
So what part of this Don't You Understand?
Is it the part where Citizens think your opinion holds only as much weight, (or less) than their own opinion?
Is it the part where the Citizens think for themselves?
Is it the part where they Reject your various Plans?
Is it that you just don't listen, or is it a problem you have with comprehension?
Is it possible you can't understand the facts, of the failed Socialized Medicine experiment in other Countries?
Do you not realize that the American Citizen does not wish to do as England does?
We fought a ' War Of Independence' (and Won!) so We could do what is best 'For Us'.
You did read that part of our History didn't you?
Is it just your arrogance and pride that keeps you pushing this 'unwanted' bill, or are you THAT Power hungry?
We the People are not Malia Ann or Sasha, We do not have to obey you! You work for us! (only 1064 more days)
So We request (read demand) you put this Bill where the Sun Don't Shine! … Oh, and Leave some room for the Crap and Tax Bill.
Sincerely,
TEA Party person

EARTH TO JPA,……….Let me help ya out there feller, ya almost swerved into the answer yerownself…..
rather than a give-away to big bad industry, it is a give away to BIG BAD LABOR UNIONS, ever heard
of Andy Stern, the guy whose name appears most frequently on the White House Visitors List.
As far as our not being able to recognize a decoy, sonny boy, I guess you never been bird huntin' have ya?
GRIDLOCK IS YOUR FRIEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well. That is who he thinks he is.
AGREE, …….also it's 6 hrs of prospective 2012 campaign commercials for the obamaroid.
how about not using jokes to make a point?
Senator Alexander (R-TN) requests that Obama take Health Care Nuke Option off table – expect this response from Pres – "(insert sound of crickets)"
carl rove:
President Obama has a habit of making false statements, and getting away with them. At a Republican conference in Baltimore last month, for example, he denied that his budget nearly triples the national debt over 10 years. He got away with it because he didn't face follow-up questions or objections
No, no CL, think GREEEEEENNN…….they're gonna give us all a spirea bush to plant by our backdoor.
Again, if you look at the information objectively and ignore idiots like Senator Inhofe, you cannot dispute that warming is happening and accelerating since 1860.
Cowboy Logic
He has one of those 'almost invisible' ear buds, so when the TP fails they can feed him his lines.
Look in closeups, for the shine in his ear.
In the opening statements of the summit, Obama tells of his mom being self employed and without health insurance, and then talks about his mom arguing with the insurance company about not reimbursing her for treatments. Epic Fail…Did she have insurance or not Mr. President?
You can't use the word shine in the same sentence as Obama. It is racist……….
Save your straw man cliches for someone who cares. No one said anything about redistribution of wealth. It ain't class warfare to point out that Wall Street and the Federal Reserve have been enslaving us through perpetual debt and that giant corporations control Congress. I'm all for big spending cuts and tax breaks, but this cannot be confined to your political ideology. It must include cuts to the warfare state as well as the welfare state (which includes things like farm subsidies and coal subsidies).
In fact, I believe the income tax is unconstitutional and should be abolished. No coincidence that it was enacted the year after the Fed was created.
I agree that massive unions are unnecessary these days and probably do more harm than good, although local unions can be good (as the owner of Whole Foods pointed out). But my critique of unions is not the shallow partisan vitriol that you seem to embrace. Saying the health care reform is a giveaway to unions might be the most short-sighted view I've seen yet.
btw, I've been bird huntin' a few times. Managed to get nice mallard drake last time. Feller.
They have made the process of their ram-rodding this crap through transparent, but calling this a "summit" and "bipartisan" is the theater. They already had their bill written before anyone from the other side could say anything. Generally summits are where things are decided together, not where one side says "this is the plan; sign on or be unbipartisan."
A willow so we can strip the bark and have painkilling tea.
Please TRICK, no I mean EXPLAIN these FACTS away. I will only use numbers because as an actual scientist I will presume that an individual such as yourself who claims to have knowledge and expertise on this issue that you already know what I am talking about.
1) 3% of 4%
2) The MAWP
3) The LIA
4) 20% 200,000,000, years ago
5) 4% follows heat, not causing heat.
These are facts that are not in dispute, unlike your phony baloney NATURE TRICKED GLOBAL WARMING NOW IT"S CHANGE malarkey that is crumbling faster than Tubba Gump Gore can eat all of the reformed permafrost and glaciers and your UN Climate Scientist can romance a girl in his lame fictional book.
Cowboy Logic
Oops!
All the same, it's there.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Take your date, 1860 until now, that is 150 years In the scheme of things, that is not a blip on the radar screen. In geologic time, dealing with millions and billions of years, 150 years is irrelevant.
I'm sorry, but you are flat wrong.
B]As to Senator Inhofe being an idiot, I would disagree. it is through people like me that call his office every week, that email him every week, that contribute our money all across the country, that Inhofe, and politicians like him stand up and make a stand. If you want to blame someone for him standing up and calling Algore a huckster and a hoaxer, blame me.
Lots of truth in humor. That's why it's funny. If you have a problem with that, FU.
is he wearing one of those in-ear devices?? wouldn't put it past him…Mike Church is playing some of it unfortunately…All I've heard out of him is "I" how many times??? Coburn is on right now and he makes some very good points. I've still not heard him mention the "illegal alien" problem!!! Re-coup their costs by them actually paying for their care would go a long way to solving some of the costs and they do run up costs for all of us when they don't pay!!!!!
Isn't "Plan B" the euphemistic name for the "abortion pill"?
If so, it's appropriate because this entire bill needs to be aborted.
Maybe it was she who left the unanswered message on Steny Hoyers phone?
This baloney "bipartisan conference" is simply a Democrat marketing ploy.
Obama: "What do you think about "x", Republican?"
Republican: "I've got a different, and better approach to "x".
Obama (or which Democrat responds): "We thought of that. It's already in the plan. Yuh see, we agree on that one too."
Obama: "OK, check that one off the list and get in line to vote for the bill behind the curtain."
TV off. Can't take the Obama non-teleprompted gibberish. I'll get the real news here and on FOX later.
Saying that 150 years is a blip in geologic time is correct, but it does nothing to support your argument. With climate we're talking at least 30 years. Irrespective of that, when you look at the RATE of warming since 1860, it is incredibly fast in geologic time.
Inhofe is a tool of the fossil fuel industry and the same "scientists" who tried to argue that tobacco doesn't cause cancer, there was no ozone depletion, acid rain doesn't come from coal pollution, etc.
Again, you are wrong.
The iceage happened quickly, over a period of several million years. Then the climate warmed (long before man was on the scene, I might add), and the ice melted. End of ice age.
Ya reckon Inhofe is a tool of the fossil fuel industry? I have been in the natural resources industry for 35 years. Inhofe is not a tool. With all due respect, you are acting like a tool, for whomever gives you talking points. Granted, i do not mind debating you in a civil tone, but every point you make is simply wrong headed, and not grounded in fact.
Come into my health care summit, said the spider to the fly….
http://hellgazette.blogspot.com/
Rahm's hand will be up his *ss moving his lips. The real trick will be to see if Rahm can drink a glass of water while Obama "speaks."
Not quite two words, but how about: " Bend Over and Say Ah……."
He'll need lots of room because Rahm and Andy Stern's hands are already there……
She didn't have insurance before she had insurance – to paraphrase John Kerry. If you are going to insist on the truth you will never understand this "brilliant man /sarcasm/.
I don't take talking points from anyone. I research the issues that interest me. I have to point out that you are again using a fallacy to support your argument. The fact that the climate warmed long before man was on the scene has nothing to do with the rate of warming since 1860. My points are well substantiated by fact, such as arguing against your statement that "global warming stopped" by pointing out that 2000-2009 was the warmest decade on record. You can't say it stopped based on one winter in one part of the world.
Obama is so pathetic! Your right, If he truly wanted to show the world that he is a good president (which he is not), he would have had this meeting in February of last year. I think this is a last ditch effort for him to save his dying Obamacare and then if his HC bill passes, he can brag about how he saved it!
Hello Missy8s! I've been saying for a while now that people need to be reminded that the concern from the democrats for a HC bill goes back to about 1994. One would think that when they got their opportunity like they have now, they would have had some sort of plan after 16 years ready to present to the people just sitting on a shelf somewhere.
Looky here JPA…. not today….no twisting the facts in order for people like you to get an opportunity to make us believe you are totally clueless.
You state in your opening vomit that……'this meeting is about as transparent as you can get…'
This is how it works there…uh…. 'Legally JPA'….
It is the formulation of the BILL that the American people want transparent not this silly "Summit" meeting.
PLEASE!! this is very important for the future of yours' and my grandchildren,….so….
contribute,,,, contribute.
Rush Limbaugh is absolute reading right now…. He is dissecting every Dem. comment in a way that if every American with just an ounce of brains (including you JPA) would realize what a hoax this entire Health Care Bill is.
Obama is the dumbest guy in this room.
What is really insulting is that this clown truly believes it is an accurate,.. "depiction".
Hey Obama just wants health care made easy. You either take the pain pill, or take the one that kills you, but don't ask for an operation, THAT has been rejected. Rejected by the Muslim that he is. We can only pray that he fails, pretty much what Rush Limbaugh said.
Why are the ice caps on Mars melting? There are no people there.
It's Obama as "Saint Bart", the patron saint of bloviation and taxation.
What is needed in this “healthcare summit” is for congressman Joe Wilson to be sitting in the room telling his two words of truth about the Obamapig-YOU LIE.
The Republicans are kicking BUTT!!!

So is revolt. Perhaps the Dumocrats should remember that. After all, if they can do their thing, why can't I do mine?
I stopped reading when you proclaimed that YOU came up with the 'Nuclear Option' name for Reconcilliation. I find it Interesting that it is the GOP who has 'abused' this maneuver, and are now crying foul that the Dems are DISCUSSING it. It is people like the author of this article who are preventing REAL democracy from occuring. This summit was shot down as 'just a show' before it even happened. There is a word for that you know, and it doesn't suprise me that the historically prejudice GOP is pre-judging. And how is
