Obama blames GOP for stalled health bills
The Hill ^ | 7/21/09 | Sam Youngman

Posted on 07/21/2009 2:53:47 PM PDT by Nachum

President Obama sharply criticized Republicans on Tuesday for following a “familiar script” to “block healthcare reform.”

The president, seeking to prod the Democratic-controlled Congress to show significant progress on healthcare reform before the August recess, directed blame at the GOP for the stalled legislation.

Obama blasted the "familiar script" of Republicans who "have openly declared their intention to block healthcare reform."

Someone please just ask the man: Under your plan, will Americans be able to receive the same level of care available to members of Congress?

Maybe someone can word it better than me...but you get the drift.

The real problem is, people are reading it. Unfortunately, they’re not in Congress.

Dems have the majority and can pass this without the Repubs. They own it.

Obama blames gives (only-partially-deserved) credit to GOP for stalled health bills. There, fixed it!

Gee Barry! You're not always going to get a walk-over victory! Sometimes you actually have to... I don't know... persuade people that your ideas are better? Problem is that with everything crashing around you, you might be out of 'political capital' only 6 months into your first term in office. Too bad!

This schmuck sounds like a Scooby-Doo villain:

The democrats have 60 votes filibuster proof majority in the Senate and massive majority in the house where they only need 218 votes to pass anything and they have 250 members. They can pass any bill they want even if every single Republican votes against the bill.

If Obama wants to blame someone for this failure he should blame the American people for not falling into lockstep with his command. The American people are becoming more aware what is in this turkey and letting their congress critters know they don’t like it.

Did the media bother to ask the White House if they know who was in charge of Congress,and who controlled the committee’s and floor’s agenda?

Funny, this asshole is the same age as I am.
I feel older than dirt.
I look at him and see an immature baby, a youngster, an adolescent. An inexperienced, arrogant jerk who thinks he’s still BMOC. I have traded in every hurt and grudge I’ve ever had, to be able to hold all the animosity I have towards this illegal immigrant.
I just can’t spew enough tonight. Sorry all. I better log off.
God bless you all.

What, gearing up for more dire threats? Piss off.

Easy to get to contacts for house and senate:

http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW_by_State.shtml
http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

Contact them early and often, even if your rep is diptard. Remember the classic line from “Network”? It’s past time.

“He’s close. “

I agree. This is obama’s Jack Kevorkian health care plan.

I want to see the ghetto lord explode on national TV and demand that people volunteer to die under his fascist health plan.

Let’s give it a day or two. He’ll do it.

I wonder if the same House R traitors who found an excuse to vote for Crap and Trade (”If we don’t pass this the EPA will hit us with something worse”), will also find an excuse to vote for this.
