ready to slam this thing thru and are using this meeting as theatric cover

We will see pretty soon, but, I think there are too many Dems who will not vote for it. The Dems knew the summit would not bring in GOP votes, they had to have a different need. The clips from this will be damaging, they would not have risked this if they had another option. Now, if the reconcilliation passes, then I'll admit my guess was flat out wrong. I may be being too optimistic -- but I hope not!

They were trying to get the republicans in a corner by showing how many things the republicans agreed with and if the didn't vote for it they were obstructionists and not really sincere about health care reform. I got the same lecture from my congresswoman.

This whole show is so frustrating. The Dems trying to make it look like the Repubs blocked this all last year. And unfortunately most uninformed Americans will believe it. They had the freaking votes and should have passed it last year...grrrrr It's obvious from these last remarks they have no plan to make changes, they only want Repubs to agree with them.

Those of us who watched the whole thing know how poorly the Dems did, but the sound bites will only be of good points they made.
