Obama seems open on health - to liberals' dismay

WASHINGTON (AP) - Even as liberals urge President Barack Obama to demand bold, far-reaching changes to the nation's health care system, the White House signaled openness Thursday to compromises that might attract moderate congressional Democrats as well as some Republicans.

Obama believes in "fundamental principles" about overhauling health care, top presidential adviser David Axelrod told The Associated Press, but "he's not dogmatic about how we get there."

It better not attract a SINGLE REPUBLICAN!

[justkate]

Revolutionaries are never “open” to changing their goals.
They are only “open” to changing their tactics.

He's open to only taking 3/4 of the loaf, for now, with an option on the rest of the loaf at a date to be named later. No deal.

A drop of clean water in a bucket of sewage results in a bucket of sewage. A drop of sewage in a bucket of clean water also results in a bucket of sewage. No compromise on Obama's health care takeover.

HE’S LYING.

[VRWCRick]

Stalinists will stop at nothing to suck people in to their agenda. Only fools will believe this.

[syriacus]

So...Obama’s reaching across the aisle.

Question is...does Obama want to shake hands with the Republicans or does he want to bite off their fingers?

[Don Corleone]

The consummate pragmatist. Get a little started and then tack all the nasties as riders on separate bills. Old trick

[lonestar]

Obama is a fake and a liar!

[YOUGOTIT]

No matter what he says it is not open. A committee will be established to oversee and run the health care plan by the government. This committee like the committee s who run the clean water and clean air and other so called federal government laws can do what it wants no matter what is in the bill. The clean water and clean air acts have been used as have all the others to make the laws as required by the left who have taken over all these positions and committees.

So it it is passed the committee will make it into what they want no matter what is passed by the congress.

NO Republican nor real American should be for this takeover and dismissal of the Constitution with the establishment of a dictatorship as was done in Rome.

Even if they do concede and back down on some of the health care, if it is communist inspired...and it is...they don’t mind taking a step back. As in the late 50’s when we were so concerned with the Communist (I was in college at that time) their plan of action was two steps forward and one step back, two steps forward and one step back. Don’t trust any of our “victories”.

Nothing but lies..bait and switch routine..seen enough, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me..

Snow is gonna bite down on it.
