Obama Suggests Possibility That Health Reform May Not Happen
Maybe I’m misreading this. But if you look at the transcript of Obama’s remarks at a fundraiser last night, it seems like the President was at least raising the possibility that health reform may not happen.
Gee, I wonder could have possibly caused that realization to dawn.
Hold up: let me make this more explicit.
At this rate, they’ll be noticing that the upcoming 112th Congress isn’t controlled by Democrats by at least, oh, March of 2012.

I'm willing to consider

I realize the nutroots/progressives/Obama will still do damage to our country and that it will be a lot of work to undo but its nice to have a laugh once in a while.

True, and not so bad considering where we were a year ago (nt)

Notice howq the cross-roads at July 2009 was just about the time the cram-down started, i.e. we hat to finish and enact it before the recess in August…a month away

“Um… guys? This can’t be right… can it? The president said we might not get health care reform…. is this a typo? He really didn’t say that did he? It’s not true… is it? Oh hold me, Markos. Please tell me it’s all a bad dream”

is it just me or
partyof1 Friday, February 5th at 6:14PM EST (link)did Obama just throw the entire US Congress under the bus.
“the American people can make a judgment as to whether this Congress has done the right thing for them or not,” the president said. “And that’s how democracy works. There will be elections coming up, and they’ll be able to make a determination and register their concerns.”
Perhaps Obama was laying the groundwork
farmer_jane (Diary) Friday, February 5th at 8:33PM EST (link)for his “I told you so” after the November elections, i.e., that the reason so many Dems were voted out of office was because they did not do “the right thing” for their constituents by passing healthcare reform.
Thus Obama and/or future radical presidents could always point to the 2010 elections as proof that the American people really do want their version of healthcare reform.

Sure - And It's a One-Way Ticket For The GOP Holding The White House for 20+ Years!

Wow..
Zaber Saturday, February 6th at 1:35AM EST (link)From reading all of their comments, the “progressives” seem to think that they are just days from a complete win on healthcare “reform”.
Oh, and Shelby is apparently the most evil man in Congress. Not that any Democrats have put their state in the way of passing legislation or such lately. I’m sure I could think of a few..Hang on..
No mention at all of the most simple way to drive healthcare costs down – tort reform that’ll force the ambulance chasing tv lawyers (“we’ll get you every penny you deserve! (minus our 40% cut)”) to practice real law or switch to telemarketing jobs. That’d be too much in line with what the voters actually WANT.
