White House officials tell ABC News that in his remarks tomorrow President Obama will suggest that if it is necessary, Democrats will use the controversial "reconciliation" rules requiring only 51 Senate votes to pass the "fix" to the Senate bill, as opposed to the 60 votes to stop a filibuster and proceed to a vote on a bill.

The real nuclear option would be the Senate getting rid of the cloture rule.
He seems to have forgotten these words:
“and that government: of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
Let loose the Kraken.
April 15 is too late. Obama isn’t going to risk letting Congress go home for Easter and face their consitutents. Remember what happened when they went home last summer and got an earful?
He’s determined to force a vote ASAP. Let him talk tomorrow, then all hell needs to break loose.
Sooo...Is Obomba say this (reconciliation) to give cover to Pelosi and Reid....cause....I don’t know where he has the power (supposedly) to initiate it....
Yeah, but Barry has friends...
Indeed, this IS the Chicago way. Look forward to more of the same as long as he’s in office. Immigration “reform” is next.
After the direct repudiation in Massachusetts, can anyone imagine the MSM coverage if any GOP President tried this crap? He would be condemned and run out of town.
When you call members of Congress, suggest you call your local MSM affiliates as well.
More like let loose the Crackhead.
They will get paid their salary and full benefits for life and not have to lift a finger.
Nothing new...Bring it on!!!
Dems are despicable.
I maintain that we have already gone over the cliff, we just haven’t hit bottom yet.
“Let him talk tomorrow, then all hell needs to break loose.”
This needs to be the mother-of-all marches.
He is going to get a big surprise, I think.
Not as many Democrats are as anxious to commit suicide as Pelosi and Reid think there are.
Go ahead Bama-boy take your shot, You lose either way.
If it passes the Democrats are dead ducks come November and Obama has no power for the last 2 yeasrs. If it doesnt pass his power is already shot and the Democrat party is split.
Take the shot then Shut up fool.
Hes determined to force a vote ASAP. Let him talk tomorrow, then all hell needs to break loose.
Yep......they are leaving us no choice. Gonna start looking for a bus........
Call your reps and Senators 202-224-3121
They do not read email. Call them and beg friends and relatives to call. We can kill this in the House if we rise up and make them feel the heat.
No. The real nuclear option would be getting rid of Washington.
