WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 (UPI) -- President Obama prepared to rally Senate Democrats Sunday on a healthcare bill bogged down by abortion, a public option and a Medicare panel, officials said.
Obama was to meet with Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and other Senators in a rare Sunday session ahead of possible debate Monday on key amendments.
Conservative Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., has threatened to filibuster reform legislation unless it contains restrictions on abortion coverage and the Senate has yet to find common ground on a government-run public option for health insurance.
Also up for discussion is the scope of an independent Medicare Advisory Board, which would have the power to rein in Medicare spending if costs continue to rise after 2014, the Washington Post reported Sunday.

They will pass it because we will do nothing to stop it. GOP will kiss his ass too no doubt. Simple matter of bribes
Before or after his first round of golf?
That has been my contenyion all along. That it would be passed is a foregone conclusion.
The question is, what are we going to do about it? The answer is apparently nothing. So freedom dies in America, not with a bang, fighting, and kicking all the way, but with a whimper.
Yes, but it kind of like a family murdered and the perp executed. That is nice but your loved one is still dead
Church is not necessary when you pray to Mecca five times a day.
Yep , we should have been organizing strikes , riots if necessary, sit ins at politicians offices etc...BUT as conservatives we all know we just talk and talk . Obama and his merry band of Marxist know this ..so ..they will pass this , Cap and Trade and then immigration and finally the Fairness Doctrine which will , among other things , make FR “go away “ Then we’ll get mad ..but it will be way too late. I can puke at the apathy of the American People.Yep , we’ll die with a whimper , if that . Unless we’re going to actively DO SOMETHING we need to shut up and bow to the leader.
As was clear during abortive Republican investigations into various Clinton scandals, in the culture of impunity of Washington, politics stops at corruption's edge. Almost all major corruption is either bipartisan or common enough that one side can effectively blackmail the other.
There you go ....
I’m paying all these GOP a holes salary but we have to depend on a talk radio host like Beck to out a Communist in the government. The GOP can kiss my ass too.I’ve yet to see outrage over the insane policies of Obama.
NATIONAL STRIKE NEEDED
AGGRESSIVE PROTEST NEEDED
Consider the comments of the number two Senate Republican, Jon Kyl, yesterday on Bill Bennetts radio show, being hosted by Rick Santorum. In response to the question, what is your strategy, to the extent you can share it, Kyl said, actually, I think we can be fairly upfront about it. Our strategy is not actually to delay and not take votes. He added, our strategy is to have a lot of good amendments and highlight the problems in the bill, and it is not our strategy to somehow slow things down.
He will put his al-quaida/taliban/code pibk/direct line to Chavez/PACKiston<——Obama’s pronunciation; secret cell phone down and roll up his prayer rug and pop down to pass his communism and no one will say a word because Obama is immune with his race card.
For a major lib with his priorities completely backwards,I would say no. Has he even found a church yet?
Democrats better have saved a lot of bribe money because they will need it after they are out of office next november.
He worships at the same church attended by Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao, Fidel, Noriega and every other tyrant from the beginning of time.
When I first read the title, I thought it said “0bama goes to hell today.” Mental Freudian slip I guess.
Since he's a Democrat, that would be a "yes".
I'm sure he will still be able to squeeze in a round.
This guy is a disgrace.
