Obama: No healthcare action until Brown is seated By Michael O'Brien - 01/20/10 02:22 PM ET
President Barack Obama said Wednesday that the Senate should halt any action on healthcare legislation until Senator-elect Scott Brown (R-Mass.) can be seated.
Obama told ABC News's George Stephanopoulos in an interview to air tonight that he doesn't want to move on health legislation, his top domestic priority, until Brown joins the Senate, which would give the GOP enough votes to sustain a filibuster.
"Here's one thing I know and I just want to make sure that this is off the table: The Senate certainly shouldn't try to jam anything through until Scott Brown is seated," the president said. "The people of Massachusetts spoke. He's got to be part of that process."

.......”The Senate certainly shouldn’t try to jam anything through until Scott Brown is seated,” the president said.
Does this mean that after Brown is seated it is okay to ‘try to jam anything through’?
Folks, remember that this Kenyan Poseur is form the south side of Chicago - its a mis-direction play. He is highly probably right now discussing with the Pelosi bitch and the soon-to-former Senator, Harry Reid, how to cram this crap through.
KILL ... THE ... BILL !!

Excellent advice. I agree with your take.
If they had tried to pull a fast one, blood may have run in the streets, seriously.
You should of just stopped at “No HCB” since adding icing to a turd doesn’t make it taste any better.
They need to scrap EVERYTHING they have done to this point and start over fresh with some of those ideas.
I actually don’t read this as a real concession at all. Notice he is saying that they should wait to “jam it through” until Brown is seated. They are still going to try and “jam it” via gimmicks after Brown is seated. This seems to me to be a very calculated response.
Hey 0bama you you punk...
How about some transparency and televising the health care proceedings on CSPAN?
Until then you are the same old BS artist and liar
Flip a coin!

The best way to lead a parade is to first find out which way it is going then step out in front of it.
Ideology aside he ‘s the worst because he had a ton of political capital and mismanaged it, particularly in his dealings with congress. Right wrong, Bush got stuff done.
I smell a trap.
I do too and I don’t want to post my thoughts.
Poor phrasing on Obama's part. Nothing more.
He's simply conceding that the Democrats will now move from a stance of total aggression, to one of negotiation, or, Washington politics as usual.
He's just positioning himself in front of the fast approaching reality curve, and attempting to maintain the appearance of being in command of his own strategy.
The bald-faced, and obvious truth, is that Obama's just been hog-tied, and he knows it. His reckless Marxist agenda is dead. Dead as a door nail. He now has to pull a Clinton move to the center to have any hope of saving his party, or his presidency.
Expect the Democrats to now shift gears, and begin working on every spineless jellyfish that can be found on our side.
Can you give us a hint? ;)
Charity asks me to hope that he is beginning to see some light. Check the article on stockpiling weapons in Israel, too.
I find it easier to pray for repentance (or at least acknowledgment of the opposition’s strength) than to heap curses down every time I hear his name - though I am still flabbergasted and angered almost every day.
