President Obama’s budget director said the White House would consider using a Senate procedural tactic so that only 50 votes would be rquired to pass major healthcare and energy reforms.

Peter Orszag, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, said the administration would prefer not to use the budget reconciliation process to push through its package. But he added: "We have to keep everything on the table. We want to get these.... important things done this year." Orszag called healthcare in particular "the key to our fiscal future."

Thanks for the ping. I’ve run out of words to express how much I hate this man and what he’s doing to our country. I don’t know if our nation, as we know it, will survive 4 years of him.

Bait and switch: The voters elected Obama. They actually got Hugo Chavez

Exactly what I said before the election ... Watch the Frontline video "The Hugo Chavez Show" and see how it works.

Obama clearly wants the Hugo Chavez final solution.
