Obama: August healthcare deadline may 'spill over'
Reuters ^ | 7-20-2009

Posted on 07/20/2009 4:06:55 PM PDT by rdl6989

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.

Does anyone really believe what this guy says ever?

Has he ever said "I lied"?

But, Obama just said that it's ‘not about him’. You could have fooled me! If he says, me, I, mine, etc. one more time he will be in a the same class with Bill Clinton for pettiness!

When they say it's not about them, it's most definitely about them.

IS HE LOSING IT?

This is like, really, really creepy weasel-like wording....is he backing down by trying to ACT like he isn't? Something along the lines of 'depends on the meaning of the word "is" ' and all of that crap?

Maybe Uhbama needs to learn that just because HE wants it done NOW does not mean it is going to happen without congressional consent BECAUSE, poor baby, he is the President of a democratic republic...at least for now.

Tell ya what-this baboon would be a very scary dictator...he is totally narcissistic and freakish.

I’m hoping that as people smell weakness and a little blood in the water, they will become emboldened to stand up to this weasel. It’s the steady drip, drip, drip of expanding statism that’s building up to a Hurricane Katrina. Health care takeover may be the most volatile issue of all in a long line of abuses. I was on a pleasant drive in the country today with my daughter, and the subject of the Panthers’ voter intimidation came up. I think both our blood pressures shot up as we discussed how our rural conservative voting poll officers would have handled that nonsense. Those thugs would have been whisked off the premises in a New York minute. The fact that they were let off is just another bucketload of sludge piling up on the levee.

Well, as my old man you to say to me when I acted this impetuous: “Want in one hand and sh*t in the other and see which one gets full first!”

I am hoping that I will see him break down on camera like a little girl.
