What the GOP fails to realize is that President Obama is fighting so hard on health care reform because the issue, for him, is finishing the work of Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights movement. Obama has some influential company in this belief.

It's no wonder Democratic lawmakers are less than enthusiastic about Obama's overture to the GOP.
The president has blamed special deals cut on Capitol Hill for the public's skepticism about health care legislation, distancing himself from what he's called "this Congress," even though his White House was closely involved in the process...

It's a contentious question, but curiously, one that doesn't get debated nearly as fiercely as things like "how many uninsured people are there?" I find that surprising, because after all, we don't necessarily care whether people are marked by some survey as "insured" or "uninsured"; we care whether there is preventable suffering in the world.

Many Americans feel that some Republicans fail to understand them as much as the Democrats do. Shining example of it is the proposed health care plan by Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH).....Number one factor that makes the folks to distrust Washington is the inability of the politicians on both sides of the isle to call the things with their real names.
For example, Senator Gregg, like President Obama and his friends Pelosi and Reid call the mandatory health insurance: “ENSURING ACCESS FOR ALL AMERICANS”.

Is Judd Gregg a tease or a real potential partner for President Barack Obama in trying to salvage some health care reform in this Congress?
That’s one question the White House has to answer for itself before the much-ballyhooed televised sit-down with Republicans on Feb. 25 on how to break the current stalemate.

Earlier this week we reported Nancy Pelosi’s top health care aide Wendell Primus admitted top Democrats have already decided on the strategy to pass the Senate's pro-abortion, government-run health care bill. In fact, he said Obama's bi-partisan out reach is all a trick.
Is Pelosi now 100 votes short on Obamacare?

Even if Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are able to pull their legislative hat trick on Obamacare, as reported earlier this week by Congress Daily, it looks like support for such a measure among House Democrats is crumbling.
