Obama plans for health care delay, new jobs bill (WH anticipates health care talks to slip into Feb)

[plain talk]

Translation...he doesn’t want to have the HCR passed by the State of the Union because of it’s unpopularity. He’d have to talk about it in the State of the Union, if it passed, and he’d see his numbers fall even more.

I disagree. He doesn't care about popularity or they wouldn't be ramming the bill through now with such fervor. He will talk about the Health Care Bill anyway whether its passed or not. So a delay has nothing to do with the SOTU from a PR standpoint. this bill won't be delayed by some SOTU speech because they have to gear up for the 2010 elections and get this HealthCare bill behind them ASAP.

The rats blew their wad for odongo on this healthcare atrocity and the repercussions are coming home to roost in a BIG, BIG way. Bigger than they ever thought it would be...they’re essentially finished. They don’t like being sacrificed for the anointed one and are no longer eager to be willing puppets of odongo....

[SueRae]

That’s my take, too. They have to be watching polls, they don’t make a move w/o them. And they clearly state: EPIC FAIL

[NotSoModerate]

I still can’t figure out how sky rocketing energy costs create jobs. For every “green” government subsidized job they create, five jobs that aren’t government backed are destroyed.

ROFL

Man, liberals are as dumb as a box of rocks. I guess that’s why most of them live in the projects.

[comebacknewt]

Looks likes Skippy has decided to start paying at least a little attention to the polls.

[rockinqsranch]

This is a lie. Just yesterday and this morning the Leftsits were talking about Obama staying, not going to Hawaii for Christmas just to stay on top of this to ensure it is completed before Christmas.

This is a diversion again. Again. Again. Again.

People! This is the transparency.

" in his big speech to the nation."
++++++++++++++

Oh yeah. I'm waiting with baited breath for the big speech...how 'bout you?

[SeattleBruce]

This is a lie.
++++++++++++++++

They lie *way* more than they tell the truth. Truly a sick admin. They despise us, and we DESPISE them...

But the RAT press can still claim a job ‘saved.’ What FOOLS! No wonder they’re dying.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Yes he does.

An increase in assets is a credit

An increase in spending is a debit

Then just add a few zeros . . . problem solved

[adm5]

This is a bluff, IMHO. We have been assured by pundits all along that there was no way the “health care” bill would have gotten this far, either in the House or the Senate. But they were wrong on that, and they’re wrong on this, too. It’s all a ploy to make us lose focus.

YOU ARE 100% CORRECT. I have stopped counting the numbers of times Obama/Reid/Pelosi/MSM have poo-poo'd on the prospects of XYZ Socialism Plan coming out of the House/Senate.

The is a calculated move, designed to relieve all of that Tea Party/Townhall voter backlash pressure from all of those scared U.S. House Representatives at home for Christmas break, facing election in 2010.

They think we will fall for it again, and again, and again.

Bottomline: WE MUST STOP THIS HORRIBLE FAR-REACHING SOCIALIST HEALTHCONTROL PLAN NOW!!! Keep calling your Rep's and Sen's and tell them ----- HELL NO!

Let them remember this legendary TeaParty sign:

[Recovering_Democrat]

The White House privately anticipates health care talks to slip into February...

Just a second...on second thought, this could be pure SPIN!

Hussein and Reid and Nazi Pelosi will try to rush this through fast, if nothing else than to establish the bureaucracy quickly! Then, they can tinker with it...just like Harkin the HACK said they would do.

[homegroan]

Maybe he doesn’t want to go to Hawaii; isn’t that where Rush is going after Christmas???

[EGPWS]

Obama is an idiot.

Obama is an "unprecedented" idiot.

The knowledge of this fact is "unprecedented". ; )

[Blood of Tyrants]

Nothing! They will just print more money!

House Democrats making plans for final health care bill

House Democrats are already home for the holidays, but they huddled on a conference call Wednesday afternoon to discuss the next steps in negotiating a final health care bill with the Senate.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi restated that the goal is to get a final bill to the president’s desk before his State of the Union address in late January or early February, but she admitted the timeline could slip, according to two senior Democratic aides who were on the call.

Members made it clear to House leaders that they don’t want to simply accept the bill that is expected to pass the Senate on Thursday morning, the aides said.

Internally, White House aides are plunging into a 2010 plan calling for an early focus on creating jobs, especially in the energy sector, along with starting a conversation about deficit reduction measures, the administration officials said.
