Here is video of a combative and arrogant President Obama today speaking to the AFL-CIO where he declared the time for debating Health Care is "over." "It's time to act."
Obama said in a rather condescending voice, "The debate has been good." But he went on to make his statement that Americans have debated this enough.
Obama then called "lies" concerns by anti-ObamaCare opponents about the impact of Government-run Care on the seriously ill and other matters. He then said opponents have no plan of their own, which is absolutely not true, and he knows it.
I don't think President Obama gets to decide when something has been debated enough. Remember, Obama never wanted this debate. He intended to ram Health Care through in less than two weeks' time prior to the end of July. But the outcry - including from "Blue Dog" Democrats - kept him from doing so. Obama's speech today makes it clear he is wounded and angry, and he is going to try and ram something through Congress. His combative tone appears to signal how the Democrats will return from their month of listening to Americans. I don't think the Democrats and the President intend to heed what they have heard. . . .

I’m tired of the so-called debate too.
He knows he loses when a legitimate debate is held. I don’t blame him for declaring it over.
Just wait until Congress returns. Not only is he trying to make us shut up, he is trying to tell Congress to shut up.
The Holy O is telling us to shut up and go to the back of the bus?
I guess he means he is the decider and you will do what he says.
Resistance is futile you will be assimilated.
He’s right. He lost.
Is that his bi-partisan approach? Whoop de do. Heres my answer President Obama. No.
Look obama, you are going to own this mess. In a big way.
Obama has an evil, sadistic look on his face, in the video. He was also talking like a fascist.
What right does he have to declare that the debate is over and that the bill needs to be passed? WE, THE PEOPLE, do NOT want government health care and we don’t want Uncle Sam to have any part of our health coverage AT ALL!!!!!!
Yes, isn’t it sad to agree with Obama on anything? But, he is right - the debate is over and it was LOST !!!
Now move on to some tweaking insurance reform and end this socialistic attempt at Federal ursurptation of individual’s rights
He is a communist and aims to put the unions, more specifically the SEIU, in a position to call the shots for generations to come.
I don’t think it’s any coincidence that Obama signed an Executive Order that all Federal construction must be Union from now on:
The beauty in all of this, is the fact that, Obama was in desperate need of an ego boost. Obama has been floundering for some time. No surprise there. Where better too charge the ones batteries, than in front of the most pro Obama crowd. The joy will come when, the one, will be left scratching his head. Confused, as to why he is still failing to gain momentum or support. Left thinking; “ Why is my brilliance not working?”
Go ahead, B-O ... with your popularity, confidence and trust poll numbers in the toilet, see what kind of pull you have with Congressmen who face re-election 14 months from now. Go ahead, sport ... see what your Chicago-style thug politics gets you on the national stage.
Did anyone notice something a little strange about “the one”?
First of all, his accent? He reminded me of Rev Wright or Jesse Jackson. Second, he was really animated and twitchy. He kept wiping his nose.
Something wasn’t right about the guy...just my impression.
what a disgusting POS this goon is. I miss Bill Clinton.
And since the country overwhelmingly is against it, we’re not going to do it. Now STFU Obama.
