In yet another round of ever present "face time" on health care, Obama today delivers a stern message to his was-and-still-almost-is supermajority Congress.... put it to a vote. In this seemingly simple demand, the entire PR stage show of the "health care summit" is laid bare. If Obama cannot achieve his desired goal to lay the groundwork for a single payer health system, he's not going to allow his failure, alongside his supermajority Congress, to be a victory for the GOP in November.
How does he accomplish this? Quite simple. Stage the summit to show bipartisan cooperation. Throw a few of their ideas in that still do not cure the ideological opposition to the proposed "cure", ask for a vote that is guaranteed to fail, and voila.... a shrug of the shoulders and out comes the midterms talking points - "it's not our fault".
It goes something like this....
We felt health care should be a bipartisan endeavor, therefore we have gone the extra mile to work across the aisle with the GOP. We've included the best of their ideas, and they still voted against the bill. It is obvious that the GOP is the "party of no". They lied to you about the facts in order to gain political power when what they prefer to do is nothing about the rising costs of health care.
Almost sounds sane, yes? That's what they're counting on. The appearance of a sane appeal, and a short memory on facts.
Speaking of fact, the media will glide silently over that pesky detail that the Democrats... holding a supermajority... never needed GOP approval for health care. They will be content to be fed another bone to pick with their favorite scapegoat, those evil and radical conservatives. The Dems? The know not to spoil the butter for their bread. They much prefer to blame the GOP rather than point fingers at their own moderate Bluedog Dems.
Another fact the media will gloss over is...

Obama Imposes HealthCare Edict On America
ALERT: The Democrat controlled government of the United States has failed to lead on healthcare. Today Obama will order Pelosi and Reid to impose Obama’s will on all Americans by forcing ObamaCare through Congress using gorilla legislative tactics. Obama is not leading, Obama has become a Progressive Dictator ruling from the extreme liberal left with his own agenda.

There is no way to stop ObamaCare in the Senate since Obama has ordered Reid to use reconciliation, FORCING THE BILL TO PASS WITH 51 VOTES. But we can beat it in the House! Dozens of Congressmen who voted for the bill last time are re-thinking their support as tax increases and special deals to buy off Senators are included. And, since the bill passed by only 220-215, Pelosi has no Democratic margin for error.

This is the biggest gamble of Obama’s presidency. Nancy Pelosi may not have the votes to pass the healthcare bill through the House. So, Obama is telling the Blue Dogs that he is prepared to sacrifice them in order to get ObamaCare. Will they cave in and throw away their chances in November, or will they finally live up to their “conservative” label?
America Cannot Afford To Wait Until November
Americans have already rejected ObamaCare. A Quinnipiac poll showed Americans disapproved of Obama’s healthcare plan by 54-35 percent. Rasmussen said 56% opposed and 41% approved, and both Pew Research and PPP said 50% were opposed to it. WE MUST KILL THIS BILL AND CUT HealthCare COSTS NOW!

This is a fight for the very heart of America. We can WIN this fight! With Senate Republicans now forcing Democrats to “ping-pong” the Obamacare bill back and forth between the two Houses, we can capitalize on the divisions within the Democrat Party itself! If
The Repub things I heard Dems would include would also be null and void if healthcare passes- tort reform and interstate insurance- you can’t sue the govt, and for similar reason, if there is no insurance industry, then it doesn’t matter how it is sold or regulated. It is done in by the govt. The Dems are incredibly disingenuous.
IMHO it won’t work this time because too many Americans who oppose this are paying attention and know who controls Congress and who is trying to ram this through agaisnt their wishes. The republicans as long as they keep up the good fight for us will be rewarded in Nov. 2010.
Nowhere in the U.S. Constitution does it state that the president has the power to order Congress around. This is usurpation of power and appears impeachable. [Separation of power]
Did you ever notice Obama gets as much “face time” on TV as Hugo Chavez does in Venezula??
Obama supporters remind me of my two shelties. I can talk to them, but all they hear is blah, blah, blah, “TREAT”, blah, blah, blah, “TREAT”.
How does she know that? I guess it could happen but I've never been notified 10 months in advance that my premium will increase.
