President Barack Obama's euphemistically named Bipartisan Health Care Summit is just hours away. Rarely have so many anticipated so little from so few, but the media (and many news junkies) are treating this summit as some sort of political super bowl. And so for those who wish to follow along at home, we offer this brief guide to the who, what, when, where, and how. We'll leave the why up to you to figure out.

One thing not in the MSM is the massive bureaucracy in these bills. Dems say that Repubs agree with 80% of the "main points," but what about the other 1900 pages in the bill?
What irritates the hell out of me is that the people have rejected all the bills that the democrats have slapped down in front of them. They do not want them.
The democrats have refused to send these bills to the trash bin. The Dems are coming into this nonsense today with what the people have rejected and saying this is the starting point.
I see no good coming from this.
“Also, he wants the MSM to report that “he won the debate”
The ONLY way the Republicans can survive this is if they walk out, en masse.
Immediately after their free lunch.

I haven’t looked at CNN or pmsnbc today to see if they are sporting a countdown clock to the all new super duper Obama Show.
Usually they do that. LOL
Do the republicans get wagyu beef and arugula too? Or do they get Dinty Moore beef stew?
LOL!!
Probably overcooked chicken, and neutron peas.
And don’t forget they all get large glasses of Kool Aid.
Did you notice a couple of things Obamacare has in common with amnesty?
1) They keep bringing it back, no matter how much the people hate it.
2) It’s “comprehensive,” not only in the sense of too thick to read and too expensive, but also, it pretends to reduce the deficit. If Dems really wanted to try to eliminate medicare fraud, make medical record keeping more efficient, etc., they could do that in a separate bill, but they want to couple the part that people hate with the promise to reduce the deficit. Likewise, the amnesty bill promised to “secure the border,” but they refused to do that part first.

“Did you notice a couple of things Obamacare has in common with amnesty?

Yeah, we noticed ;-)
Ya'll be good now...:)
In otherwards it has a certain “aroma” to it.
Oh yes, I caught a whiff of that aroma.
Do you think a Repub will ask Onongo what part of No is it that he fails to understamd?
