The much awaited speech to a joint session of Congress by the President will take place tonight.Robert Gibbs has said “Lines in the sand will be drawn.".... Reporters want to know, what will President Obama say to clarify the debate and bring about this legislation?
Well they can speculate all they want, but I know what he won't say.
He won't Say: I will not raise taxes to support my program. That will not only include personal income taxes but taxes on goods and services provided to the public. No luxury tax, sin tax, you name it, none.
He won't say: There is a serious need for tort reform in the medical profession and must be included in any form of legislation that arrives at his desk.
He won't say....
The list can go on and on, I'll let others take it from here. I'm tired. And so are the American people. The Economy is a wreck, the stimulus plan is failing, your money wasted, and now they tell us that the tax money spent on saving the Auto industry, the money that would be paid back to the taxpayer...well were sorry but that won't happen either. Another Liberal handout to benefit a few and not the whole. Now, tonight we can listen to an impassioned plea to revive legislation to pass a bill that will cost the American taxpayer untold amounts of money, create a new bureaucracy that siphons off dollars faster than it can pick them up and will stand up there with the other government success stories...the U.S. Postal System, Medicare / Medicaid, and Social Security.
...it's time to put a stop to government interference and halt this move toward Socialism. This is America, not Europe!

He won’t say that the public option is Dem code speak for a government option where people who work buy health insurance policies for people who won’t.
Obama will do what he usually does and vote “present”. He has no backbone and refuses to take a stand and be direct on what he wants in this bill because he’s afraid to offend his own party or popular opinion. That’s why it’s failing, and that’s why it won’t change anything after tonight’s speech.
