The inevitable partisan ending to today’s bipartisan kabuki. I know you’re bored with summit vids by now but the baldfaced lie told here makes it must-viewing. Quote: “I think most Americans think that a majority vote makes sense.” That’s simply flatly untrue and there are not one but two polls posted in the last 24 hours to prove it. Ed already flagged Gallup’s finding of a 39/52 split opposed to reconciliation; Fox News followed up a few hours ago with even worse numbers.
If President Obama is unable to reach a deal with Republicans at the summit, 59 percent think he should start from scratch later. Some 34 percent think he should go ahead and try to pass the current bill without Republican support…
If a compromise isn’t achieved at the summit, by a two-to-one margin Democrats think the president should still try to pass the bill without Republicans. Even so, 31 percent think the president should start over in this scenario.
For independents, it’s just the reverse, by more than two-to-one they support dropping the current bill and starting over. An overwhelming majority of Republicans say the current bill should be dropped if the health care summit fails to find bipartisan agreement.
No matter. If a bipartisan deal hasn’t been reached within six weeks, says Obama, it’s reconciliation or bust. The alternative is “Plan B,” but while Blue Dogs might warm to that, House progressives probably won’t. And so, as one Democratic aide said to Politico, “It’s probably the big bill or nothing.”

...he reverts back to...”you know what?”, like a 7 yr old....no what, you got a bracelet too?
He won ya’ know.
I know what sounds even better - IMPEACHMENT. AND a criminal trial for KNOWINGLY and WILLFULLY evading the “natural born citizen clause” of the Constitution and DEFRAUDING the American Public.
I believe at some point, someone in Congress is going to grow a pair and tell him to STFU....
At this point, any “conservative” who isn’t willing to talk openly and LOUDLY about secession and reorganization will be shown to be a TRAITOR and/or a COWARD.
Under a secession and reorganization plan, a number of states would secede and then re-assemble under the U.S. Constitution (AS WRITTEN) as the Reorganized United States of America. All U.S. states would be invited to join - and most would.
The R-USA would have no obligation to pay the unconstitutionally acquired debts of old USA.
That would leave the Kenyan Usurper to preside over Vermont, TAXachusetts, bankrupt California and maybe a couple other states including Hawaii.
Six more week of this crap??!!
That’s nutty.
You think you have problems now Obie!?? go ahead
Twit!
Ram it down our throats and we’ll shove it up your Obama.
Didn’t they already try something like that in 1861?
Let them talk about it every day from tomorrow until Nov 2
Great a threat!!!! Bama just go out and stump for more Dems so we can get conservatives in congress. Do what you do best.
Sounds good. It is seriously time to move in that direction. Our non-representing representatives have proven, time and again over the decades, that they care not at all what their constituents desire. They have proven to be in “the game” for themselves at our expense; our current (lack of) leadership is just the latest nail in a long succession. Let it be the last.
The closer this goes toward Nov. with the focus off of the the disasterous economy, the harding the beating the RATS will take at the ballot box.
Reconcile, you leftist bast**ds. Do it! Show your true colors, you treasonous bast**ds.
"You mean reconciliation with the desires of the American people? Very well, we accept."
