It's Official: No Public Option from Obama (Drudge Headline)
Politico.com ^ | 9/1/2009

Posted on 09/01/2009 8:20:22 PM PDT by GVnana

Aides to President Barack Obama are putting the final touches on a new strategy to help Democrats recover from a brutal August recess by specifying what Obama wants to see in a compromise health care deal and directly confronting other trouble spots, West Wing officials tell POLITICO.

Obama is considering detailing his health-care demands in a major speech as soon as next week, when Congress returns from the August recess. And although House leaders have said their members will demand the inclusion of a public insurance option, Obama has no plans to insist on it himself, the officials said.

“We’re entering a new season,” senior adviser David Axelrod said in a telephone interview. “It’s time to synthesize and harmonize these strands and get this done. We’re confident that we can do that. But obviously it is a different phase. We’re going to approach it in a different way. The president is going to be very active.”

No. He will just ‘change’ the wording....

Exactly. I don't believe a single word that comes from -11bama's mouth. He's the biggest liar I've ever seen in politics. Any health care "reform" coming from the Rats must be defeated.

My only satisfaction will be DU's meltdown when they realize their chain got yanked (yet again) in 3..2..1.

The boiling frog story is a widespread anecdote describing a frog slowly being boiled alive. The premise is that if a frog is placed in boiling water, it will jump out, but if it is placed in cold water that is slowly heated, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death. The story is often used as a metaphor for the inability of people to react to important changes that occur gradually.[1] The premise of the story is not literally true; an actual frog submerged and gradually heated will jump out.[2][3] The story is thought to have originated with the work of German physiologist Friedrich Goltz, who demonstrated that a frog will indeed remain in slowly heated water, but only if its brain is removed[4].

It is all in the details.

The details need to be released for public consumption.

Can I believe my lying eyes?

If his lips are moving, he's most likely lying.

This is just for Senate consumption, as part of the "reconciliation"/"nuclear option". The radical socialists in the House won't stand for no public option.

They'll try again later after they pass a framework bill.

No one should trust Obama at his word...for nothing.

I repeat.

This is not a Health Reform Bill.

It is the Health Control Bill.

After Obama establishes his civilian defense corps whatever option Obama wants is a stroke of the pen—law of the land.

Right now Obama is pushing small farmers and small town people out of the rural, red areas of the map, and all else is just theater.
