Oh Yeah, Obama?
We need ten Blue Dog House Dems to be scared absolutely witless about having to face the electorate in November if they vote for this. If they got together and issued a statement that they would not be voting to pass ANY health care reform in this session of Congress, Obamacare would be D-E-A-D. (and at this point there are quite a few Dems who are wishing it would just go away)
The Republican response should be thus:
"Mr President, you sure seem to hate the insurance companies, which makes me wonder why you want to become the biggest insurer of them all. You want the American people to believe that only you and government can be a trusted insurer, while private insurers are nothing but theives. Well Mr. President, you have taken the American people far deeper into financial crisis than any insurance company has with your endless spending on bailouts, taking control of private industries and funding them with AMERICAN TAXPAYER dollars, and shoving something down their throats that you know they don't want. And you think they should trust YOU and your Administration to be the largest health care provider of them all?
The Insurance companies actually have one of the lowest rates of return on investment of major industries.
NO NUCLEAR OPTION.
