Televised Meeting to talk about healthcare..........

[rod1]

I agree. She was a treasure. Turban is the trash.

[Terry Mross]

If there was one real representative of the people in that room he would ask “How many of the 30 million are illegal, Mr. President? The big word there is “if”.

[combat_boots]

Oops.

Paul Ryan and Boehner made Obama livid...LOL.

Paul Ryan hit him with facts and just tore the whole thing wide open on the trillion dollars of costs.

That’s why it can’t pass. Everyone knows the costs skyrocket.

COVERAGE DOES NOT EQUAL CARE — that was the money line

[Deo volente]

BEWARE of the Prime of March.

Obamacare reconciliation coming on Monday...

[MNlurker]

I’d recommend DC do the bracing...this isn’t a 50/50 split in America on this specific health care per CNN is 75/25 against.

We may well get a history lesson in real time about what happens to tyrannical regimes in the face of an upset populace...

[PhiKapMom]

Barrasso just said most of the people with problems eat too much, exercise too little, and smoke! Arrow right at ZERO. Time to start over!

Obama: AHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Jedidah]

Bravo Barrasso. Great points.

He’s got Obama stuttering.

[onyx]

I envy you. I can’t drink anything this early.

"Coverage Does Not Equal Care"

[maggief]

0bama: Aaaah, eeerrrrr, uuummmm.

[wizard61]

The house does not have the votes.

Maybe the plan was to try to generate momentum from this summit to pull in enough house votes. If so, I don't think even the MSM can staple this together.

[novemberslady]

November...think about it.

[dfwgator]

Shep Smith on Fox just said, “I like sausage"

I but he does...I bet he does....say no more....

[TomGuy]

I realize there aren’t a lot of McCain fans here (myself among the non-fans), but he has really stepped up here today when we’ve needed him most.

Be careful about getting too excited.

If he wins his primary, that puff of dust you see is the pitter-patter of McCain's feet running to his good friends across the aisle.

[mentor2k]

LMAOO . . Shep likes to lick his sausage before he eats it.

via Wasington Examiner (Byron York) - Feb 25

In a pre-summit talk, House Republican Whip Eric Cantor says Democrats are trying to create a sense of "false momentum" about their national health care bill -- a bill Cantor says is dead and losing more support every day. "We have to continue the fight to make sure [it is dead]," Cantor says, "but all signs indicate now they cannot pass this in the House."

Cantor released a memo yesterday analyzing support for the bill and concluding that House Democrats are far short of the 217 votes required to pass it.

Nope, everything that isn’t budget can be objected to and thrown out.

Greg said he has 5 pages single spaced of objections and plans to pass them out. There is no limit, nor no way to limit objections. Since as ZERO said no one cares about Senate procedure, no one should care about the approx 200 objections to be filed.

Hey, La Enchiladita. Hard to keep track of FRiends on this Thread; it is growing like the Blob!
