It's a phrase we haven't heard since the halcyon days of President Clinton -- and we heard it then in a slightly different context.
Nonetheless, the American public has told Obama no, and he seems think no means yes:
President Barack Obama is expected to publish his healthcare plan as early as Sunday or Monday, combining features of the two Democratic bills passed by the Senate and House of Representatives, congressional aides and healthcare advocates said on Friday. ... The legislation the White House will post on its website is expected to reflect common ground negotiated over the past several weeks by House and Senate Democratic leaders. ... Those agreements are likely to be combined as a privileged budget reconciliation bill, which only needs a simple 51-vote majority to pass the 100-member Senate instead of the 60-vote supermajority that has become routine in the Senate and gives Republicans power to block the healthcare bill.
It ain't just on health care. They're also pushing the egregious cap and trade bill again ...
I knew that it would only take a few weeks before the democraps forgot about the election in MA.
Are these guys complete idiots?
The budget reconcilation bills can only deal with budget issues.
So much for that “pivot to jobs.”
He’s like a crack addict. Right back to his addiciton (i.e. socialism).
Tennessee has joined several other states in trying to pass a Health Care Freedom Act. NO COLAs for granny, retired Military or retired fed employees. BIG NEW fees for Tricare for Life retired over 65 Military's secondary health ins. (DOD bill already passed, delayed but goes into effect 2011)
New Dem mantra: Woof, woof eat dog food granny....ala let them eat cake.

Obama says slight fix will extend Social Security

TRI CARE FOR LIFE This from a google search:

This option would help reduce the costs of TFL, as well as costs for Medicare, by introducing minimum out-of pocket requirements for beneficiaries. Under this option, TFL would not cover any of the first $525 of an enrollee’s cost-sharing liabilities for calendar year 2011 and would limit coverage to 50 percent of the next $4,725 in Medicare cost sharing that the beneficiary incurred. (Because all further cost sharing would be covered by TFL, enrollees could not pay more than $2,888 in cost sharing in that year.)

Congress plans to block Tricare fee increases

Tricare fee increases imposed last week by the Defense Department will be repealed by a provision of the compromise 2010 defense authorization bill unveiled Wednesday by House and Senate negotiators.

The fee increases were announced on Sept. 30 and took effect on Oct. 1, but the defense bill, HR 2647, includes a provision barring any fee increases until the start of fiscal 2011.

Retired Army Maj. Gen. Bill Matz, president of the National Association for Uniformed Services, said the announcement of fee increases was shocking considering that the Obama administration promised earlier this year to hold off on any new fee Tricare fee increases until fiscal 2011.
“President Obama and DoD assured NAUS and the entire military family earlier this year that there would rightly be no increases in any Tricare fees” in fiscal 2010, Matz said. “We took them at their word, and I can’t believe that a co-pay increase like this was allowed to go forward,” he added.
Bambi doesn't keep his promises...so buyer beware
“No” means “No,” but Obama comtinues on with his date-rape of America.
What bothers me the most in all this, is where is the strong denouncing of these Chicago thugs by Republicans? Is there not a Jesse Helms amongst them?
They are idiots, but not complete idiots, and that is where the problem lies. One thing more dangerous than a complete idiot is an idiot who is not a complete idiot.
It’s good to be King, Dictator...or Queen.
They’ve fallen into the quicksand of their own policies.
You can put lipstick on a pig.....it’s still a pig!
