It's Official: No Public Option from Obama (Drudge Headline)
Politico.com ^ | 9/1/2009

Posted on 09/01/2009 8:20:22 PM PDT by GVnana

Aides to President Barack Obama are putting the final touches on a new strategy to help Democrats recover from a brutal August recess by specifying what Obama wants to see in a compromise health care deal and directly confronting other trouble spots, West Wing officials tell POLITICO.

Obama is considering detailing his health-care demands in a major speech as soon as next week, when Congress returns from the August recess. And although House leaders have said their members will demand the inclusion of a public insurance option, Obama has no plans to insist on it himself, the officials said.

“We’re entering a new season,” senior adviser David Axelrod said in a telephone interview. “It’s time to synthesize and harmonize these strands and get this done. We’re confident that we can do that. But obviously it is a different phase. We’re going to approach it in a different way. The president is going to be very active.”

I don’t believe a word coming out of any CommuFascist bastard.

This is why they have to be thoroughly defeated, their institutions dismantled and outlawed.

Jihadi terrorists or political terrorists should not use our freedoms against us, period.

How about illegals, Obama?

Despite the lies and “myth” claims, this govt report from Congressional Research Service says HR 3200 WILL cover illegal aliens...

I’m thinkin’ there are a LOT of C O N gress people
worried about their jobs. They may see the light
and start impeachment proceedings. If that doesn’t
work, it’s a sure thing the CIA isn’t happy with the
way they’re being treated.

Ask any Kennedy and they will tell you it’s not
healthy to pi$$ off the CIA.

Now that we have some heavy ammo, we need to write/call our representatives/senators both Republicans, and democrat blue dogs...DEMAND to know that they are going to do about the radical/revolutionary/communists in obama’s administration/czars. Tell them they took a oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies both foreign and DOMESTIC. Let them know that if they fail to defend this country, you will consider them traitors, and will do everything politically possible and VOTE THEM OUT. If they're undecided and/or worried about their jobs now, they'd better worry about their jobs in 2010 at the polls.

We need to appeal to everyone, Republicans, Democrats, Independents...it's all of us against obama’s communist/socialist admin....whose side are they on?

If I have to watch Barry on National TV primetime again trying to fail-sell this garbage called ObamaCare, I am going to puke.

Be careful. They have tricks up their sleeves.

a clear sign that the president will start dictating terms to Congress
It's what dictators do.

0b0z0 is green (Oh uh,is this racist?) I mean he doesn't know his ass form his elbow. For his own good, he shouldn't go after the CIA.

Now, he just did. Why doesn't the CIA leak out his history and kick him out of our house as the usurper that he is? They can also prove how brilliant he is by leaking his passing through colleges through affirmative action with lousy grades, that, of course, if he ever graduated!

I don’t know how he did in schools or how he got in. Does anybody know anything about the nationality or history of this ghost? These are some of the questions, which the CIA can fight back by answering.

I do not believe this man or his minions. They will call it something different, juggle it around a bit...and then ram it through anyway.

They have shown a propensity to lie.

Here is what Obama said to the American people at a contrived "town hall" in New Hampshire on Tuesday, August 11, 2009.

"I have not said that I was a single payer supporter.” Pres. Barack Hussein Obama, Aug 11, 2009

Compare that to what he said while campaigning for the Senate to his union supporters, and was cheered while so doing:

“I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer universal health care program. I see no reason why the United States of America, the wealthiest country in the history of the world, spending 14 percent of its gross national product on health care, cannot provide basic health insurance to everybody. And that’s what Jim is talking about when he says everybody in, nobody out. A single-payer health care plan, a universal health care plan. That’s what I’d like to see. But as all of you know, we may not get there immediately. Because first we’ve got to take back the White House, we’ve got to take back the Senate, and we’ve got to take back the House.” - Barack Hussein Obama, June 30, 2003 to AFL-CIO

I say...NO DEMOCRATIC HEALTH CARE REFORM AT ALL. KILL IT DEAD.

Obama no longer has the credibility or the political clout to pass meaningful health care. He can jabber all he wants now and it won't matter. The Democrats are scared to bits that they will lose power in 2010 so... its over for now.

The Obama administration is completely untrustworthy. There will be some way they can turn it to a public option.

Can I believe my lying eyes?

It says no public option from Obama. He will let Congress do the work. IF they back off, it is only to get the camel's nose under the tent with the expectation and goal of getting the entire camel herd into the tent.

Well don’t count your chickens until they are hatched but with Kennedy, God save his soul, out of the Senate the dems don’t have the votes to push cloture until either an election is held or MA changes their law, either kills September.

Doesn't he still have a vote?

Got a taste of the dems “compromise” when it was exposed the past week that the latest version of Obamacare included over 10 billion in taxpayer funded handouts to the united autoworkers union.
