Nice take, FReeper vg0va3.

Technically, nothing has changed from their perspective. The administration will argue that the town halls are over, and so are the debates.....there is no reason to continue discussing something to death. Time to vote. They have the votes. Issue decided. The only thing that can change is that they lose the votes.

CAUTION This man Obama----like all sociopaths---- lives in the moment----doing and saying anything necessary to cover his ***. EVERYTHING he says has an expiration date.

Tonight, Obama will sound very VERY conservative....Ronald Reagan incarnate....he might even invoke the "shining city on the hill," and other Reaganisms. Conman Obama will tailor his words with one objective----to fool irate "no-sale" townhallers.

Obama knows he MUST obscure his radical agenda now that he was caught flat-footed with Communist Van Jones in his employ.

Looking for sources that ObamaCare is unconstitutional?

Article I Section 8, Federalist No. 45, and the Tenth Amendment - the usurpation of power by Congress

US Constitution
Article I - The Legislative Branch
Section 8 - Powers of Congress
17 Sep 1797

Taxing and Spending Clause – Article I, Section 8 of the US Constitution is sometimes referred to as the "The Taxing and Spending Clause". It's intent is to grant Congress the power to impose taxes for paying for three general areas:

(1) pay off the Debt incurred during the war for independence, (2) provide for national Defense, and (3) provide for the general Welfare. The first paragraph reads as follows: (first paragraph) The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

It is difficult to understand how our national leaders can pass many of the laws they do given they have no authority to do so. It is also difficult to understand how everything seems to have been turned upside down -- what use to mean one thing now means the opposite. Well, here are the facts regarding the intent of the Constitution and how politicians attempt to convince us they are operating within its confines.

SOURCE "Texans Against Government Controlled Health Care"

Facts about the 10th Amendment:

The Tenth Amendment (Amendment X) of the United States Constitution, which is part of the Bill of Rights, was ratified on December 15, 1791.

The Tenth Amendment restates the Constitution’s principle of Federalism by providing that powers not granted to the national government nor prohibited to the states are reserved to the states or the people.

====================================

UPDATE---TEXAS BILL HCR 50 HAS PASSED THE HOUSE 99-36.

(a) Affirms that the State of Texas claims sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the U.S. Constitution;

(b) Serves notice to the federal government to cease and desist certain mandates, and providing that certain federal legislation be prohibited or repealed.

Regardless of how confidently Pelosi and her orcish MSM minions push the lie, I seriously doubt that she does, in fact, "have the votes" -- not for any plan with a public option as an integral part of same, at any rate.

She also claimed, remember, to "have all the votes I need to pass it right now" a full month ago, before all the town hall meetings. For some weird, inexplicable reason (HAH!), it didn't happen then, either. ;)

Only IF his teleprompter does not malfunction. I am not sure he can even with a functioning teleprompter hide his contempt of America.
