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.”

They will call it a co-op, because the government is about to co-opt your freedom.

Of course it will eventually become the single payer, public option if this healthcare “reform” debacle is passed under any circumstances. Muslims (like hussein 0bozo) are granted the right to lie under the Koran, in order to achieve their ends.

Public, shmublic, he doesn’t care about those details. Just get a bill passed, tweak it later. Get the rope around us, tighten it later.

Well Pelosi has bigger ones than zero and she already said that no bill goes through the house unless it has the public option. This should be interesting. LOL. Plus, he's going to look absolutely castrated when he trots out a new plan. LOL.

"WTF are we about to get now?"

"Robbed."

That's if these sick pirates let you live to get robbed. If you are young, you get robbed. Old or disabled? You know where the wood drops off into the water.

These commies are the lowest of human kind. Never let them take your freedom based on eloquently stated falsehoods, they are crooks. That includes the pubbies as well. Throw them all out.

synthesize and harmonize

Just do and be done with it - you don't need one single Republican. Get this thing off the front page. Move on to Cap and Tax.....all the more to knock you guys off your pedestal in 2010 when we will throw all this out (wishful thinking isn't it to have a veto proof majority - ha ha)

BULLSH!T ! He won't give up Single-Payer Public Option.

He'll find some way to sneak it in, repackaging and relabeling as something else.
DO NOT TRUST A CONFIRMED LIAR!

Obama's has wanted a Public Option ever since he first ran for office as a New Party
(Illinois Socialist) candidate in 1996.

Of course he won’t ‘insist on it himself’.....he’ll let Congress take the fall. Nice bit of CYA there, bozo. Too bad you’re not being a leader.

I suspect there is something afoot.

Obama will probably try to offer a "reasonable" alternative to the House of Representatives bill; with the intent to slip it to us under the guise of something superficially more acceptable to the sheeple.

WATCH OUT!

They’ve wanted this so long & it’s so close, they can almost taste it. Right now, they would say ANYTHING to get this passed. They will slip the public option in later.

Don’t believe a word they say.
