Healthcare Summit Afternoon: Facts vs. Sad Stories,POTUS Goes Partisan

Seven Hours of Health Care. It was a long battle, the GOP brought facts, the Democrats brought emotional stories. The most telling part of the day was when the President was walking back to the White House at the end with his progressive colleagues , he shouted to the press, "We'll see, we will see if we changed some attitudes." That was the purpose of this exercise changing attitudes, not of the GOP legislators in the room but of the American public.

Sammy’s wrong on that one. Obama’s audience was the dem congress. Obama was hoping to steel their hearts to fall on their swords for him.

I’m betting Obama failed, in spades (can I say that without being hauled away?).

Look at the bright side, after he’s turned out of office he’d make a great debate moderator or game show host.

“Is that your final answer?”

“You are the weakest link, goodbye”

You know, if the Republicans wouldn't argue merit and substance and differences and would just educate their "friends across the isle" about that these things are to be handled by the states and use a little history and the Constitution as Glenn Beck masterfully did at CPAC, then this wouldn't even be arguable and the Republicans wouldn't look like Democrats-lite trying to offer their own version of big government and socialism-lite.

What would Ron Paul have said to them? Would he have offered his own big government fix or would he have blasted the Democrats for trying to fix something the government broke in the first place with more big government?

Whether you like Paul or not, did anybody say those things today? Or, did they really say (as I just heard on a news break) that they should implement health care reform at a slower pace, one part at a time (the Republican solution)? WTH is wrong with these people?

Now, like I said, I didn't hear the raw 7 1/2 hours of the summit, so please tell me I'm wrong.

Changing attutudes... this is what is was all about. Is anyone surprised, no. The arrogance of this fool is remarkable! He will get his final slap down in November when all his buddies will be gone and he will be the only fool on the hill!
