President Obama said Saturday he is ready to compromise with Republicans on health care if they are serious about it, but that an overhaul must go forward.
"Let's get this done," he said.
Obama's comments in his weekly Internet and radio address, two days after an all-day bipartisan summit across from the White House, were the latest sign that Democrats are getting set to try to pass health care legislation without any Republicans on board.
Success will require colossal efforts on the part of Obama and Democratic leaders to round up votes after a year of corrosive debate and a Senate special-election upset that threw the overhaul effort into limbo last month. But Obama and the Democrats reject the piecemeal approach sought by Republicans and have no intention of scrapping their 10-year, $1 trillion bill and starting over, as the GOP demands.

Wait, I thought he was going to ram it through by reconciliation.
This isn’t some clear strategy or feint. This is just aimlessness.

Americans have NO COMMON GROUND with socialist/marxist/commies. So, Barry, there is nothing to get done until you are out of office.

Come on GOP. Show me you've learned something.
Please don't fall for it and snatch defeat from out of the jaws of victory yet again.
To: just me
I just got finished talking to a very knowledgeable person about this process and was told that Obama wouldn't really go with reconciliation, it's just a threat. Obama will probably go for a plan B that he will then call a victory instead of reconciliation because reconciliation would have to include a sunset provision and most of the bill would have to be ruled non-budget related. The mandatory requirements will probably be ruled unconstitutional by some federal court so that would pretty much kill it.
