WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama on Wednesday expressed frustration with the way the Senate does business, saying the use of delaying tactics there harms the nation's ability to "deal with big problems in a very competitive world."
"Other countries are going to start running circles around us," Obama said in a White House interview with PBS. "We're going to have to return to some sense that governance is more important than politics inside the Senate."
Obama's critique of his former Senate colleagues came just as his allies there were on the cusp of giving him what he wants: passage of a Senate health care bill.
The bare-minimum bloc of 60 senators—all 58 Democrats and two independents—voted to end a GOP filibuster and move toward final passage Thursday.
Obama said the use of that vote-stalling tactic, which requires 60 votes to cut off debate, has been imposed in an "unheard of" routine fashion. He said it's problematic regardless of which party controls the White House and Congress, but conceded that, as president, he doesn't have much power to do anything about it.
As for the health care bill, the version the Senate is expected to pass must still be reconciled with a House-passed measure.
Obama pledged to take a hands-on role in reconciling the two.

He's acting and talking like a spoiled child!
BTW, in case he hasn't noticed, he's the one who is playing "politics" with the Healthcare bill.
I loathe this creature.

Ahhh. We’d never know if it was true anyways, the disgusting, criminal msm would cover for him or use it to get him re-elected. Whereas with W. it would be “not fit to serve due to illness”.
I, I, I...me, me, me... Unbelievable.
Coincidentally, it suddenly occurs to me that Operation Valkyrie was one of my favorite recent movies.
What’s the rush? This bill will not be effective until what- 2013? I know what the rush is- the more time to digest the details of the bill, the less likely it is to pass. In any event, WASS.
Other countries, other countries. This man is effing obsessed with making us Europe.
The little sissy dictator is getting up^h^h restless. He and his tinpot ways needs to be removed from office.
America is due some patriots and salvation soon.
OBOZO is a JOKE!
HE has no HONOR what so ever!
Pass your Bill BOZO............OUR next President will say...”Tear up this Health-Care Bill” Mister Speaker!
Have no fear.............Good will always Triumph over Evil! OBOZO is just a flash in the Pan before we send him packing back to his Country of Origin!
They're going to start right away, behind closed doors. I already saw where BAM is going to take the public focus off healthcare for a while and this is so they can do all their scheming in private then come out ready to go.
I think they're trying to take the heat off because it got pretty hairy but now is the time for us to keep it in the headlines. What are they doing in conference. Get full page ads out telling the public what is in this bill, it may not reach everyone but the MSM will probably have to pick up the story sooner or later or some big-mouthed Dem will have to comment on it. At any rate, they are planning and plotting the whole time and we have to do the same.
At least when Bill Clinton vented he only destroyed a blue dress instead of the entire country.
...expressed frustration with the way the Senate does business, saying the use of delaying tactics there harms the nation's ability to "deal with big problems in a very competitive world."For example, the Senate has to ratify treaties, even those which don't actually exist, but are cited by the MSM as if they actually do. Wouldn't it be so much easier just to let Zero rule by decree?
Whats ur hurry puppet man...is the illumanti getting on ur case??????
I want ObamaCare passed by Christmas Day. My patience is running out. I'm damn serious.
Obama the Petulant.
Wish in one hand, Barry. Crap in the other. See which fills up first.
Now you’ve opened up a can of worms! Why are we supposed to be worried about Penny Marshall and Dick Van Dyke? Don’t tell me I’m gonna have to buy a tabloid...
Dictator wannabees are always frustrated.
This is one Evil bastard who hates America!
He will lose.
Yep.

I think whatever that word is, is also the word we'd use to describe his Kenyan cousin, Odinga:
OB: have your union thugs "punch back twice as hard"
OD: have your tribal thugs kill hundreds
OD: extort a new position for yourself as prime minister
OB: browbeat the Senate into rubberstamping whatever Soros' secretary puts on OB's PrompTer, while using czars and Executive Orders to make out like a dictator.

Fascism was very popular among some elite circles, in the 1930's, because it was supposed to be so much more efficient than messy democracy. Obama is so retro.
are you kidding? he is so capitalist elite its not funny!
Obama just handed a huge bonanza to health insurance companies, their profits are rising. just look at their stock market values, up up up
and Obama helps Wall Sreet banks like Goldman Sachs make HUGE profits, billions and billions of dollars...at the expense of taxpayers who paid for the bailout
Obama is not a communist
a communist wants to share money and profit with everyone in the society....to each according to their need
Obama does the OPPOSITE of communism.....he gives money to those that already have huge amounts of it, the big wall street banks, the health insurance companies, etc.....
Obama takes money from me, a taxpaper....to give to the big big corporations that already have HUGE billions of money in profits
Obama is not a communist, not a socialist, just the opposite
he helps the ruling elite...
who is the ruling elite? the huge corporations, and their govt representatives, such as Obama, and the Congress and the Senate...
not the little guy
communism was all about helping the little guy, not the big corporations
Karl Marx thought the big corporations were basically evil....communists would NEVER help big corporations
