Bottom line on health care summit: Dems push ahead
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama strongly signaled that Democrats will move forward on a health care overhaul with or without Republicans, preparing his party for a fight whose political outcome will rest with voters in November.
Delivering his closing argument at a 7-1/2-hour televised policy marathon Thursday, Obama told Republicans he welcomes their ideas - even ones Democrats don’t like - but they must fit into his framework for a broad health care remake that would cover tens of millions of uninsured Americans.
That’s the deal.
It’s a gamble for Obama and his party, and it’s far from certain that Democratic congressional leaders can rally their members to muscle a bill through on their own. At stake are Democrats’ political fortunes in the midterm elections and the fate of Obama’s domestic agenda pitted against emboldened Republicans.

Bottom line on health care summit: Dems push ahead
I guess it’s time to give the far left moonbats a NEW post they can reference in their continuing quest for material that proves that I detest Barack Hussein Obama and give them even more reasons to call me a racist. That’s what they like to call me, you, anyone that doesn’t agree with, or espouse total love and adoration for Barack Hussein Obama.
Obama told Republicans he welcomes their ideas - even ones Democrats don’t like - but they must fit into his framework
HIS framework? How about this? Barack Hussein Obama, and his socialistic ideals for America do NOT fit into the framework of well over 50 percent of the American people.
I can’t speak for ALL Conservative Americans, but as for me, I have no use for the ObamaCare plans of the most egotistical narcissist to ever infest the Oval Office.
Yesterday, the GOP lawmakers that attended the ObamaCare debacle wasted their time. The media that provided a constant stream of said debacle wasted their time, and any American that sat through this debacle wasted 7 1/2 hours of valuable life that they will NEVER get back!
All so Barack Hussein Obama could have the final say and TELL America, not plead his case, not to ASK America, but to DICTATE TO us that we WILL accept this ObamaCare BS from him.
“The truth of the matter is that politically speaking, there may not be any reason for Republicans to want to do anything,” Obama said, summing up. “I don’t need a poll to know that most Republican voters are opposed to this bill and might be opposed to the kind of compromise we could craft.
“And if we can’t,” he added, “I think we’ve got to go ahead and some make decisions, and then that’s what elections are for. “
That last line, about what elections are for, THAT is the most truthful statement Obama has ever made, and we ALL know that Obama avoids the truth at every opportunity.
Elections, in 2010 and 2012, if they are not outlawed by the Socialist Emperor in Chief, will spell disaster for the Democrats and their leader. Obama and Company are in for a rude awakening.
The ObamaCare debacle yesterday wasn’t about hearing the different ideas that Republican lawmakers had to offer, it was about giving Obama the opportunity to run his mouth and tell the GOP what was going to happen, whether THEY like it or not.
DEMOCRATS (Including President Obama): 233 MINUTES OR NEARLY 4 HOURS
REPUBLICANS: 110 MINUTES OR 1 HOUR 50 MINUTES
PRESIDENT OBAMA ALONE: 119 MINUTES OR 1 HOUR AND 59 MINUTES SOURCE
So, there you have it. ObamaCare is coming if it’s not stopped in the House and Senate.
Several times the media has declared ObamaCare DEAD, they have been wrong.
ObamaCare will NOT die as long as Obama is in office, even if 2010 brings a major shift to the powers that be in the Senate and House, Obama will keep on pushing this off on the American people.
It’s time to push back!
We can only hope that the 40 GOP votes in the Senate ALL stand together and STOP this utter monstrosity from gaining new life. It’s time to KILL ObamaCare and start over. If Obama wants to be a Socialist, let him move to Canada, they seem to like him, it’s no colder there than it is in Chicago, and the USA would be infinitely better off without him and his socialist beliefs

The theatre yesterday at Blair House was a total waste of time as you imply Fred, nothing but an opportunity for that arrogant SOB to grab the spot light for a few hours and remind us again he is the president and he wasted little time in doing that.
You are right about health care never being dead as long as BHO is in office. He will continue on his march toward socializing America an long as he holds the reigns of power. Every trick in the book will be used to advance his programs and if not by legislative means then by executive orders or measures imposed through executive branch agencies such as the EPA.
We are in for a rough ride and every tool must be used to stop the advance of what can only be described as an “alien agenda”. Obama does intend to remake America into a country that most will not recognize by the end of his administration—if there is such a thing. He would like to be in for life like one of his heroes, FDR, who had no problem in breaking an unwritten tradition established by George Washington; and was finally removed in his fourth term by an act of God. Obama feels that laws and traditions are not applicable to him and he can do what he wants because after all he is the greatest!
He might be able to bully the GOP but I don’t think he realizes the American people will kick his black Muslim ass, one way or the other. It just makes me mad as hell when this frikken Muslim bastard sets there and picks snot balls out of his nose while on camera and “TELLS” us we’re gonna get this health care bill passed regardless of what we want or how many polls he looks at.
Well I have only one thing to say..”FUCK YOU MR. MUSLIM and THE GOAT YOU RODE IN ON” …wanting and getting are two different things.
Many people are feeling that exact same way Vigilante, sadly, far too many are PC wusses and don’t have the GUTS to say so…
And then there’s the asshats on the left that call us RACISTS simply because we DO have the balls to stand up and say it, to speak the truth…
Personally, I think, judging by the reactions I’ve seen in the last 24 hours, Obozo showed his ass yesterday and many more are waking up and smelling the coffee and it smells like cat dung brewing!!!!
Obozo is single handedly destroying the Democrat Party and showing America, once again, how bad left wing loons really are when they are “in charge”.
His response to McPain was blatantly immature, and we all know I can’t stand RINO McCain. Digging for gems on camera???? Give me a break!!! I won’t be happy until they serve him with charges of treason!
I watched it for about 45 minutes. I saw the man-child we have in the White House get visibly upset as Republicans quoted facts and figures to him. He reminded me of a kid who was elected president of his 5th grade class and now feels he’s above everyone else. He’s nothing but a joke who couldn’t tell the difference between rat shit and Rice Krispies.
Hey Fred, If Obamacare passes, do you think 5000 rounds of ammo per individual will be enough? Am thinking things might get a little testy.

Depending on what ya got, if you run out I can probably front ya for a couple thousand…….LOL
Sure is beginning to appear that they really do want a real blood and guts revolution to happen.
I don’t have ANY guns OR ammo…
I am not a revolutionary…
Guns are bad…
I have oceanfront property for sale, near Casa Grande…
I would never take up arms against my country….of course with Obama in charge it sure doesn’t look like MY country anymore…so count me in.
XD
Don’t worry, Fred. I’m sure one of your readers could loan you a gun or two….or three.
It’s a good thing, too, because when Obama FORCES his healthcare plan through (and it looks like he will), we’d probley all be better off getting put down like broken-legged horses instead of going to the doctor.
