Amid Doubts of Bipartisan Plan, Obama to Rally Support to Democrats' Health Care Bills
FoxNews ^ | 9/2/09 | staff

Posted on 09/02/2009 12:30:54 PM PDT by teddyballgame

Two senior administration officials confirm to FOX News that President Obama is actively considering a prime-time address from the Oval Office or an address to a joint session of Congress to invigorate the debate, as Congress returns from a rocky recess. And the path forward, as the president sees it, is to unify Democrats around the three House bills and one Senate bill that have already passed out of committee.

Public option back on the table?!? That was the fastest trial ballon I've ever seen. This crew can't get its story straight!

The more this guy talks, the deeper the dems sink. I also think the networks are getting tired of this guy lousing up their prime time schedules.

...to invigorate the debate...

How he can think this debate needs any more invigorating is beyond me.

He's going to "re-frame" the debate, eh? That just means he's going to rephrase what he's already said to try and get people to buy into it.

But that train has already left the station.

He's already revealed himself to be a liar...and the people have not forgotten it.

"I have not said that I was a single payer supporter.” Pres. Barack Hussein Obama, Aug 11, 2009

Compare that to what he said while campaigning for the Senate to his union supporters, and was cheered while so doing:

“I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer universal health care program. I see no reason why the United States of America, the wealthiest country in the history of the world, spending 14 percent of its gross national product on health care, cannot provide basic health insurance to everybody. And that’s what Jim is talking about when he says everybody in, nobody out. A single-payer health care plan, a universal health care plan. That’s what I’d like to see. But as all of you know, we may not get there immediately. Because first we’ve got to take back the White House, we’ve got to take back the Senate, and we’ve got to take back the House.” - Barack Hussein Obama, June 30, 2003 to AFL-CIO

The slumbering giant is really stirring now, and he's waking up hopping mad.

I just don’t understand. Axelrod gave a conference call to reporters this morning explaining that the public option was off the table and how an “incremental” approach was best. Now that’s out the window and it’s full steam ahead withough GOP support? This guy is all over the place.

Exactly, just hold a real townhall meeting open to the public that isn't stacked with a bunch of SIU thugs.

Sounds good to me. Should yield us a couple more negative points on Rasmsussen.

That's because Emmanuel pulls his strings.

He's known for moving at break-neck speed, resembling a 12 cup a day Java addict. OZero can't help but look like the energizer bunny hitting his head on the wall again and again and again...

Hey Barry, have I got an idea for you.

Take a leaf from Cesar Chavez and Fidel Castro’s books.

Schedule a five hour prime-time address on all the networks, and make sure that none of them back out this time.

And don’t forget to put on your Mao suit.

His poll numbers should be in the ‘30s before the end of the week.

I was at mine last night and it was 90-10 against. Search on my name for an AAR, there wasn't enough material for its own thread.

Yeah there is - it achieves government control over everyone's healthcare, and that's actually the important part.

What support? Americans are 80%+ against this silly Government boondoogle. They realize that something evil this way comes and they want no part of it. How much more loudly do we have to say no to this Government?
