Obama Faces Calls to Grab Health Care Reins From Congress
Fox News ^

Posted on 08/31/2009 12:18:42 PM PDT by wk4bush2004

With public support waning, President Obama is at a crossroads on health care reform: Does he attempt to breathe life into Congress' efforts or do something more drastic -- offer his own solution?

The president faces these questions as Congress returns next week from a summer recess which by most accounts took a heavy toll on reform legislation.

So, Obama comes in, parts the waters, leads the children through, sings "Kum-by-ya," and comes up with "bipartisan health care reform," aka "whatever the liberals want."

Don't these people get it? WE DO NOT WANT GOVERNMENT HEALTH CARE!!!!!!!!!!!

And even puts John McCain on the air to root for it too.

Now what does Sarah Palin do? At some point she is going to have to get into a cat fight with her former running mate, there is no avoiding it.

But Dole said Obama's approval ratings would jump if he got more involved and took charge, and that such a turnaround could produce a "bipartisan ending" that Americans would support.

WTF! Who are these RINO's and why are they trying to help the Zero? This kind of advice should never come out of the mouths of the opposition!

Politicians tend to like anything that concentrates more power and wealth in the hands of...politicians.

When you’re distributing billions you can rake off millions, but when you’re distributing trillions, you can make some real money for yourself and your friends.

Is this the part where the messiah performs “miracles” and cures everyone of their ills?

Holistic ACORN “Community Medical Volunteers” will become the front line of medical practice. No need for lots of high priced doctors as ACORNites are plentiful and work for cheap. If you are ill or have bad habits they will visit you at your home. They will keep on visiting until you are well or disposable.

obama never offered any plan for anything when he was senator. He just passes the buck to congress and hopes they can come up with something liberal enough for him to sign.

If liberals really wanted a president that would push for health care reform and fight for them, they should’ve picked Hillary, not Obama.

Well, it does put her in a bind though. It'll be very discouraging if she supports McCain on this.

maybe dole’s not so stupid. If obama came up with his own bill, everyone would hate it and he would own it instead of blaming congress.

She’s actually skillful enough to sweetly disagree with McCain. There must be a couple dozen things in it she could credibly dislike. Walking those out one by one, like the “death panel,” could get pretty old to the Rats and they might just give up.
