House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday expressed confidence she will have enough votes to pass a health overhaul, but acknowledged it could come at a political cost to lawmakers who back the measure.

Monday kicks off a critical week for Democrats to push ahead with their overhaul. President Barack Obama is expected to announce his preferred way forward for the bill. The White House has already laid the groundwork for Congress to complete the legislation using a process known as budget reconciliation that requires a simple majority in the Senate.

Democrats seem poised to move forward without any support from Republicans, who say they see no way to work from the existing bill.

Fidel Obama and his Democratic Fascist Party are uncomfortable with the rule of law.

Well, yeah...the Libs can do it alone.

"She is on a very short wire and barry is right there with her."
Pelosi is missing brains; Reid is in a lost cult and Obama doesn't understand America.

WHAT A TRIO!

I don’t think she has the votes.
