Speaking after a closed door meeting with bickering Senate Democrats, President Obama this afternoon said they are on the verge of an agreement on health care but that more work needed to be done.

"There are still some differences that have to be worked on. This was not a roll call. This was a broad-based discussion about how to move forward," Obama told reporters, according to the website Politico.

Speaking from the Roosevelt Room, he said the Senate was almost ready to achieve their health care goals, which he called, "an achievement that's eluded congresses and presidents for generations, an achievement that will touch the lives of every American."

Didn’t Caligula announce that a tractor company was going to start rehiring again, when in actuality the company was still laying off people with no rehiring in sight?

I suspect and greatly desire that this weasel-in-chief is orally ejaculating prematurely again.

The plan is to just get it passed in any form. Even a lesser evil will be adequate for them. They will then change it back to it's original form with added guarantees that it cannot be repealed.

Inflation is now beginning to emerge, thanks to their insanity and will accelerate a phenomenal rate, thanks again to their moronic Fed Chairman who kept it way too low for way too long in order to make them look good.

Gerald Celente’s “Economic Apocalypse” is about to unfold into the reality he so accurately describes.

Woe be to any one living in a heavily populated area who is in debt and has no land or home free and clear or tangible assets saved up.

At least after the inflation sets in he won't have any debt.

Just believe the exact opposite of what he says and you’ll be on solid ground.

Better yet, try ignoring him altogether.

“an achievement that’s eluded congresses and presidents for generations”

This is what’s gotten Obama so razzed to the pioint of obsession..HE wants lay the ego claim that he will be the ONE that did what ‘no one else’ could do.

He is so egotistical, he could not care less about the quality or impact of this bill.

I saw Robin Rogers on Good Morning America echoing the same thing with her Obot fan trance..”But, NO OTHER president has been able to DO THIS historical act...it is HISTORICAL...blah blah blah”

I’m sorry but Obama and his lackey team are the most superficial image driven bunch of corruptfools ever to descnd upon the oval office.

And we have a bunch of nonthinking entertainment obsessed voters that can’t find their way out of a paper bag to thank for this.
