He’s doing this so Christmas and Easter will be celebrated as Obama’s political holidays.

if the Congresscritters won’t come home and face the Tea Party it’s time to bring the Tea Party to them

[truthandlife]

Who is this President who seems bound and determined to sneak reprehensible legislation through during Christian Holidays when he knows people will be distracted?

A very "evil" man

1 John 2:18-19 "Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen; from this we know that it is the last hour."

[Buckeye McFrog]

Amendment 28 - Neither the Members of the House of Representatives nor of the Senate shall remain in Session for more than 15 calendar days without all Members returning home to their States or Districts for a period of at least 10 contiguous calendar days before resuming Session therein.

[TheClintons-STILLAnti-American]

"No one is more aware of the rapidly vanishing hourglass than Mr Obama, who will today give a speech setting out the way forward for what he ardently hopes will be the home stretch for healthcare reform."

Is this his "laser focus on jobs" he was bragging about a couple of weeks ago?

Although more people are acknowledging that Obama is nothing but a Socialist ideologue it's still amazing to see how many don't hold him to account in the slightest for the fact that there is absolutely no connection between what he says and what he does.

[votemout]

Hasn’t everyone heard it’s now SPRING BREAK!

[Freddd]

Wow Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter and still he says he’s a ‘Christian’.....

How do ya like the demoralizing assaults so far America? Oh wait, that’s called ‘hope and change’ eh?

[LegendHasIt]

Yup, it is.

They are discussing this over at HotAir too:

"Over the last few days, readers have sent a number of e-mails objecting to our focus on reconciliation as the big problem facing the opposition to ObamaCare. Reconciliation is just a ruse, they warn. The real danger is that the House will pass the Senate version of ObamaCare and that Barack Obama will sign it into law. The Senate doesn’t have to do anything at that point, except perhaps dodge the missiles tossed across the Capitol’s parking lot from their colleagues in the House after stiffing them on fixing their concerns.

That certainly has some truth to it. The House has had the option to do just that ever since the Senate passed its version in late December. The House can do that at any time during this session of Congress, which ends in December. They do not need to even put it through the committee process, but can bring it to the floor expeditiously — and Republicans have no way to stop it. If Nancy Pelosi ever decides to do that — presuming she can get the votes to pass it — Obama would surely sign the bill.........................

................... The real nightmare scenario isn’t that the House might pass the Senate bill now, or in April. It’s that Democrats might get stymied now, and then pass the Senate bill after the midterms in late November, and allow Obama to sign it into law well after the time when voters have held them accountable for their radical agenda."

Worth repeating:

WILL THIS THING EVER DIE? More lives than a cat... More lives than a zombie vampire cat.

He is a muslim and some of his bosses are muslims. Where did the $700 million come from?

Who was withdrawing $500 billion from money markets in the late summer of 2008 to screw the financial system? It also forced TARP.

WHY is there no sceaming this question from the rooftops:

WHY IS OBYUMMER AND GANG SO OBSESSED WITH THIS SO-CALLED HEALTH BILL OVER ALL OTHER - AND MORE PRESSING - PROBLEMS FACING US? (Beside the fact that DC would immediately begin receiving truckloads of money as we would have to start paying premiums NOW, years ahead of insurance kicking in - and they need that money NOW ???to cover up monies already quietly taken from other programs with the expectation they could put it back before anyone spotted it?? They expected, after all, to have this monster money grab bill through a year ago.)

He/they have spent nearly every waking moment for the entire administration trying, feverishly, to ram this thing thorough - a bill that won't even take effect until 2014-16, while unemployment rises, jobs disappear, jihadists run rampant, the new ROE’s in Afghanistan are killing more of our troops than since 2001, dumping our Space Program - which will put upwards of 100,000 Americans out of work and funneling that money to ‘predominantly Muslim Countries in Asia, Africa and Indonesia” to “teach Muslim youth” and bring Muslim countries into the Space Industry...

Folks - Look past the smoke screen. Don't just watch what he's doing with his right hand - it's that dirty left hand that needs watching. (some of you will get the full significance of that last phrase.)

if the Congresscritters won’t come home and face the Tea Party it’s time to bring the Tea Party to them

they'll be there - loud, clear and visible - on TAX DAY - April 15th (Congress critters back in town then?)

If you can't march in person - march on line - and send this ink to everyone in your email adds. Make it go viral

Exact quotation is:

"When you're lost in the rain in Juarez when it's Easter time too."

From Dylan's Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues.

Song does seem to be about health care: "My best friend, my doctor, won't even say what it is I've got."

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Thanks for the correction. I can always use a good edit.

I seem to recall the lines about a “Doc won’t tell me what I’ve got...”
It’s been a while since I played any LPs.

Thanks

“Non-partisan analysts agree. “Democrats don’t want to go back to their districts without healthcare in their pocket because they would face another onslaught from the Tea Party Movement,” says Bill Schneider at the Third Way centrist think-tank.

“Furthermore, if Democrats had to stretch healthcare into April and May they would be eating into the calendar in a year that was supposed to be all about jobs.” “

This is beyond Waterloo ... this is like Napoleon in Russia...

political season awaits.

[WOSG]

If what you say is true, then we will wake up on Easter morning, and we will know if America will rise again.

[tet68]

Polls also show that Mr Obama would be punished even more if he failed to get healthcare reform through. "Most Americans believe politics is the enemy of problem-solving," says Mr Schneider.

[REPANDPROUDOFIT]

I wish Rush would start a campaign for another “9-12”. If he asked people to gather around the Capitol on a given day say the Friday before Good Friday, there would be a huge response. With as little as two days notice, a lot of people would get in their cars and drive to DC, just to let their voice be heard. We have them scared, we need to keep them sweating!
