Obama to Republicans on Health Reform: 'Let's Get This Done' (scrap the Government takeover first)
fox news ^ | 2/27/2010 | AP

Posted on 02/27/2010 7:14:56 PM PST by tobyhill

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.

You do great work, Potlatch...:)

Personally, I think he was booger-hunting because he couldn’t sneak away to have a cigarette.

He just didn’t know what to do with his hands.

What a POS. Images like that couldn’t be made public on a more deserving person. I will say this...I am beginning to really worry about having him in the Oval Office from a mental stability standpoint.

I mean, I have been worried about having him in there from day one from an economic and societal standpoint, but now I am seriously worried if we have a major crisis arise, how he would react.

At least Slick Willie waited somewhat until he was out of office before he went bonkers about being exposed and shown to be a fakeroo fool

Hussein Junior showed his arrogance and ignorance immediately

“I be the ‘Present’”

Somewhere pigs are creating his image in their muddy pens

every time they relieve themselves.....

Sounds like he’s begging to me. If he had the votes to pass it, even through reconciliation, he would ignore the Pubs like he did a few months ago before Brown’s election.

In other words, they still don't have to votes to ram it down our throats - even with ‘reconciliation’

You know dam* well they would if they could.

Especially the Narcissist in Chief. He cannot abide being denied.

Obama and the Dems know they have to pass this bill. Thewy have put too much effort into it for it to fail. But, they want Republicans on board to help pass it. They are afraid to pass it on their own. All their threats to do so is to try and get a few Reps to say “ well, they will passed it anyway”. I say they won't. Not without Republicans to give them cover. Any Republican who gives in will pay dearly.

This was all BS. If the Dems had the votes, they wouldn’t have met with the Repubs and given them the spotlight the way they did. But they don’t have the votes. It’s their majority and they can pass anything that will sell to their incumbencies. This crap won’t.

I wonder, when Obama sniffed his boogers, did it taste like chicken

Most likely arugula, Kobe beef and Camel cigs. Excuse me while I go hurl. :(

“’Let’s Get This Done’ “

Meaning the Communist takeover of America.

OBOZO knows he is facing Failure!
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Actually he refuses to face failure, but failure doesn’t care, it can proceed with or without him. I wonder if he has ever known any kind of honest success that wasn’t handed to him or gained by underhanded methods.

“I wonder if he (OBOZO) has ever known any kind of “HONEST” Success?”

I doubt that OBOZO has ever learned the definition of “Honest”, and I’ll bet OBOZO has never performed an “Honest” Activity in his entire life! We now know Thanks to Dr. Jack Cashill, that he never wrote “DREAMS FROM MY FATHER!”, that he never published a thing of any import in his life even tho he conned his way into stealing the Editorship of THE HARVARD LAW REVIEW, that NONE of any of his past records are available for inspection, that is except his notable absences from his only real job, that of a U.S. Senator! and that for unexplained reasons he lost his law license along with his wife’s only a few short years
after obtaining it........And We now know he stinks at speaking without a Teleprompter and someone else’s words! But we do know that he excels at finding plenty of time to “GOOF OFF” shooting B-Ball, Golfing, Partying and entertaining his Celebrity Friends........PATHETIC!! :-(

Well, he seems to be succeeding at destroying what remains of America! I am not sure whether his apparent overall incompetence is helping or hindering him in that project.

We used to lock up second rate con men, now we elect them president.

LOLOLOL!

Sorry Nate, Roscoe. Time for the award to change hands.

This is an award of honor, Potlatch. Roscoe covets this award and has vowed to win it at all costs.
