The health care bill will open up tons of new jobs in the federal government - this is how they plan to get unemployment down. Out of work Americans will have no choice but to hold their noses and apply just so they can get some income again. Then Obama will say he saved/created jobs. Thousands more Americans earning money pushing paper from one side of their desk to the other. Looks good in the short term stats but it’s a house of cards.

Don’t buy this for one second. They are lying right through their teeth.

Why would they lie if they had the votes, they would boast about it.

The Abortion issue is going to give them a hard time, since over 70% of the American People are against forcing those against it to pay for it.

House members take those numbers seriously.

They’ll only need 51 or 50 w/Biden breaking the tie, when it comes to the final bill.

If the Bill goes to reconcilation, they will need 60 again to break cloture.

But their real problem is in the House, where only a 5 vote shift could end it.

This Bill might just fade away.

About 65k a year to hire a 40k government union drone.

We only lose 25 thousand on the deal and no healthcare package necessary.

It’s historical and unprecedented.

I have to start a thread on Obamaisms for a little FReeper fun.

Obama reality or Obamaisms:

“My snow blower was jammed and I just poked my fingers in there to free it up. While I did lose 3 digits I am happy to report that the rest of my fingers and my hand is intact. Even better news; I did this with my left hand, so this won’t affect my writing at all. The snowblower is running like a champ!! Oh, happy day!!”

they have either lost all sense of reality or they’re great liars.

These Dems come out as a group and smile and then say how this Govt take over is great.

Even now bozo is telling the left to forget their take over as it seems he just wants to make history than do things for the country.

I have never seen Dems so out of touch and that is saying something (GOP too in many ways).

They have no idea that this country hates this bill, left and right and the middle too.

Has the white house not let them see the public or the media lately including polls.
Every time the Dems go out there shoving this to us they’re making them selves look even more stupid than any Govt can do

White House aides are plunging into a 2010 plan calling for an early focus on creating jobs...

Uh, the stimulus was supposed to keep unemployment below 8%. Hussein is a fail.

Smokescreen tactics.

The House Dems will vote for it, regardless of the final version hammered out with the Senate.

Pelosi will beat them like a steel drum in Aruba until they all vote for it.

Don’t be fooled by screaming moonbats about the public option nonsense.

Destroy them in 2010.

GOOD. Then halt tomorrow’s vote on the Bill and send the
Senators home to read the 2000-plus page monstrosity — so they
know what the hell they’re voting for!

Jobs are created out of thin air. That is, they come from inside obama’s head.

Can any of these evil morons say with a straight face that the TAXES they’ll collect for the first 4 years will be LOCKBOXED (just like Social Security) and of course not used for anything else until the HEALTHCARE BENEFITS kick in?

Duh!!! They’ll use the money for their bribery projects in their districts...
