Reuters ^ | 7-20-2009

WASHINGTON, July 20 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama said on Monday the August deadline he had set for Congress to pass initial healthcare legislation may "spill over," but repeated that he wanted reforms enacted soon.

"I want this done now," Obama said in an interview on the PBS program "The Newshour with Jim Lehrer."

"Now, if there are no deadlines, nothing gets done in this town. ... If somebody comes to me and says, it's basically done; it's going to spill over by a few days or a week -- you know, that's different," he said.

This is probably a set up. Make it look like the Congress is really wrangling over this bill, Obama working hard to get it done, yadda yadda yadda...Huge victory for “The One,” now on to more “change.”

This is what I htink happened w/ cap and trade...we kept hearing it was dead dead dead.

And I just saw on Special Report that he’s changing the name to “insurance reform.”

"I want this done now!"

Yeah, it's all about what he want's not the people of America. Spoken like a true dictator.

A little too much ‘me’ and ‘I’ for my tastes.

I want him to fail.

Hey Barry. You don’t set deadlines for anyone! Even your bootlickers in the House and Senate.

He lost and Wednesday he’ll be crying and lying, both of which he does very well at.
I hate this POS.

He is losing it. He just was reported as saying he wants it done by the end of the year-

I am waiting for his nervous breakdown now.- His "captain Queeg moment".

Add it to the list...

Shame on the naive idiots who voted for him. They are just what the Communists have been training them to be for so many decades while their parents busied themselves with everything but what was being taught to their kids in the “halls of learning”. Shame on those parents, too. It’s all been happening right before their unseeing eyes. And though they had been warned time and again, they did not want to hear. So we find ourselves where we now are. If these people do not turn back to God and His laws, I can offer no hope to any of us.

He wants it done before the gov acctng office releases the ‘delayed’ numbers which will show the deficit is closer to 2 trillion dollars for ‘09. It actually gives me a ray of hope, to think the affirmative action marxist bastard fears the people might have enough clout still to reject his deficit weapon for annihilation of America. Still, I wonder if he's just being overly cautious ... we the people no longer decide what happens under the federal oligarchy of Reid-Pelosi-Obama/Soros.
