More Hope and Change…
Hugo Chavez Barack Obama lashed out at Republican senators today for stalling his takeover of one-sixth of the US economy.

Obama suggested that the senate should change its rules to better accomodate his plans for America.
Breitbart reported:
President Barack Obama on Wednesday expressed frustration with the way the Senate does business, saying the use of delaying tactics there harms the nation’s ability to “deal with big problems in a very competitive world.”
“Other countries are going to start running circles around us,” Obama said in a White House interview with PBS. “We’re going to have to return to some sense that governance is more important than politics inside the Senate.”
Obama’s critique of his former Senate colleagues came just as his allies there were on the cusp of giving him what he wants: passage of a Senate health care bill.
The bare-minimum bloc of 60 senators—all 58 Democrats and two independents—voted to end a GOP filibuster and move toward final passage Thursday.
Obama said the use of that vote-stalling tactic, which requires 60 votes to cut off debate, has been imposed in an “unheard of” routine fashion. He said it’s problematic regardless of which party controls the White House and Congress, but conceded that, as president, he doesn’t have much power to do anything about it.
How dare Republicans stand up against this historic power grab by the Obama Administration.
Only 36% of voters approve of Obama’s nationalized health care plan.

Now Obama’s feeling dictator like.

He may know lobbying, but he is wrong here.  Obama and his crew were never for the “public option.”  His statement today ices the cake.  He didn’t say he had to compromise, he said he never said he supported or “campaigned” on the public option.  He made a mental mistake of saying something closer to the truth, rather than sticking to the cover story built that it was out of his control.

Repubs also put in place Health Savings Accounts which are really beyond most people but if you figure it out, it has some benefits.

I just wish they would quit barfing it up like bulimic behemoths.

So they do NOT represent the practicing provider by any means.

This is another one of those analyses of analyses, so lots of conjecture here.

A little problem with the study, Obot. They never verified who did or did not have insurance.

So it is pretty useless, politically motivated pablum for the left.

The Dems in control have given as much consideration to Republicans as they have to the 60 plus percent of the public who want the bill scrapped.

Wow, I am so sorry to hear you lost power during your, um, blizzard. I guess this bill keeping you warm is ONE benefit I hadn’t considered! Ahem.

I am so sorry to hear how it will affect your sister and mother-in-law, and all of us, at one point or another.

Here’s the thing – the Democrats have had every opportunity to do this thing RIGHT. They could actually meet with doctors, with PEOPLE, with hospitals, with representatives from other countries that have public insurance. They could be working on a JOBS bill, and trying to grow jobs, making that Priority Number One, while they work on real Health Care Reform.

But no. They are selling their souls, and our health, down the river for the gain of a few over the many. It is reprehensible. It is immoral.

Thinking of you and your family, Sassy.

I hated it when the Reps did it to the Dems before, and I hate it now, especially since this is such wide-ranging, sweeping legislation that will cost our country a great deal. Add to that we will start being taxed for this program immediately, but not reap any benefits until 2014 (what there are – but don’t wait for those mammograms all you women under 50 – better get them while you can!).
