"Go for it."

WASHINGTON -- 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......
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.....
Obama's plan would require most Americans to get health insurance, while providing subsidies for many in the form of a new tax credit.....
A Democrats-only strategy is no slam-dunk. The House would have to pass a Senate bill that many House Democrats find unacceptable. Indeed, House Democrats appear to hold the key to the success of Obama's gambit.

My only question is how he never was committed for mental problems.
Gee, why am I not surprised. He is tone deaf. No wonder Michelle had considered divorce. The man doesn’t hear anything he doesn’t want to hear. That’s actually very typical of a dictator.
Obama is one arrogant SOB. He must be stopped.
Could they still be having trouble in their own ranks??
He failed in Dictatorship, too. You are supposed to get the generals of your army COMPLETELY fired or have them on your side, and you are supposed to co-opt all the local police. That's your first move, along with rounding up guns.
Too late now. FAIL
"Go for it."
What "Moderate" Dem is going to side with a liberal president who has a 40% approval rating among likely voters?
“Obama said Americans want a decision on health care, and most think ‘a majority vote makes sense.’
Yet a USA Today/Gallup survey released Thursday found Americans tilt 49-42 percent against Congress passing a health care bill similar to the ones proposed by Obama and Democrats in the House and Senate. Opposition was even stronger to the idea of Senate Democrats using the special budget rules, with 52 percent opposed and 39 percent in favor.”
Yep. It’s clear that American wants this, Mr. President. Full speed ahead! *SMIRK**
What an @sshat.
He isn’t “tone deaf”, he knows full well that the American people don’t want it, he just doesn’t care. His purpose is to put as much under government control, as possible, as soon as possible.
Well thank God for miracles. We thought the reps were in disarray. It was never even close, compared to the dems. But, chaos and disarray go hand in hand with evil.
Onward, forward, march towards wreckonciliation.
Yeah Obama was pulling the brains he has left out of his nose on live TV..What a class act!Looks like to me he was wiping the snot on his face..These morons will not win..Come Nov they will all be replaced,including the Re-pub RINOS that vote for the travesty
this will be the equivalent of rolling a 7 instead of making the point...all those chips on the table will be gone except for those who bet on the Don’t Pass or the Come...
He has hinged his entire presidency on this issue. If it doesn’t go through he will be forever known in history as a failure while controlling congress. His ego will do evrything to push this through, damn the political fallout.
America’s Hitler with a Gestapo that will be voted out in November.
Socialized healthcare is Gollum’s “Precious” to the Democrats.
They’ll die to get it.
.
Keeping an affirmative action bed at the loony bin would be RACIST!
SOCIALIZED HEALTHCARE! AT LAST!
