Time is short, the political maneuvering tense and the ultimate vote will be tight, but Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., emerged from a White House meeting with President Barack Obama on Tuesday as a full-throated enthusiast for the Senate health care bill Democrats want to enact by Christmas.

"While many of us expressed cost and bureaucracy concerns about early drafts of health care reform legislation, it is clear that the product the Senate is debating is a dramatic improvement," Landrieu said Tuesday evening.

"Senate Democrats have developed a consensus that combines the best blend of private and public approaches to reduce cost, expand coverage and increase choice and competition for Americans."

Landrieu's statement, issued under the headline, "Now is the Time to Pass Health Care Reform," is the most positive she has issued about the health care plan, which has been the subject of intensive negotiations in recent weeks.

As if she really understood the contents of the bill that they want to vote on before Christmas...

What were they saying about the US Senate being the "world's greatest deliberative body"?

What a joke...

Right, the same lunatics who a few days ago were selling the public option/ medicare expansion. Now a few days later they have the best thing since sliced bread.

No republican input. No public hearings. Absolute insanity.
