WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama warned Thursday that if Congress doesn't deliver health care legislation by the end of the year the opportunity will be lost, a plea to political supporters to pressure lawmakers to act.

"If we don't get it done this year, we're not going to get it done," Obama told supporters by phone as he flew home on Air Force One from a West Coast fundraising trip.

...

"The election in November, it didn't bring about change. It gave us an opportunity for change," Obama said.

Cool! Promise?

[DManA]

Good of him to give us a choice. I choose never.

[Domandred]

I vote never.

[tips up]

I vote never...

[kromike]

So, just have Pelosi write something up, pad it with a billion lines of gobbledygook and then sign it without reading it. Just like you did with the anti-stimulus travesty.

God, this guy is an absolute idiot.

[Cheetahcat]

Yes Put me down for the never thing also.

[who knows what evil?]

...another vote for never.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

NEWSFLASH

to Obama. We need jobs and then we will worry about our usual health care.

[Huskrrrr]

Just like if we don’t act now:

1) GM will file for Bankruptcy

2) Unemployment will reach 8%

3) Government won’t completely run your life!

[AuH2ORepublican]

I vote for “never.” Next issue?

[WVKayaker]

Another- NEVER!

[meandog]

I’ll take “never”!

[Army Air Corps]

I choose never.

[freekitty]

Never

[DustyMoment]

Ok, I vote never!!

C’n I eat dinner now??

[sonic109]

Ready for a revolution yet folks ?

Guess not..Ok lets wait until Obama runs all health companies and banks and the auto industry. Wait long enough and we’re dead . Just sit there and hope someone else will do it .

[linn37]

I vote for never.

[PGR88]

He knows it stinks so much, he can only ram it through when he has massive majorities in Congress. No one will touch in 2010, with elections coming.

[truthandlife]

Creating another crisis because they know they will not be able to pass this in 2010. The Republicans need to stand up now more than ever when hopefully the “reinforcements” come in in 2010. We will see if they keep listening to the media or listening to the electorate.

Great! I vote for never...

[CPONav]

I think that he knows that eventually, America is going to wake up and see him for what he really is, then it will rid itself of him.

[massgopguy]

What’s he going to do about all those Catholic Hospitals?

[mickidawn1969]

never ever

[Paladin2]

I’m surprised that Michele my Belle hasn’t had AF1 painted in new livery.

[pogo101]

Even a pro-Obamacare wonk must admit that “this year or never” is blatantly false as a matter of POLICY. What Obama is talking about is POLITICS: He believes his power is only going to go downhill from here, so, etc.

[TADSLOS]

IT'S A CRISIS! IT'S NOW OR NEVER!

Never sounds good. Real good.

[spodefly]

Put me down for never.

I may be a neanderthal rethuglican right wing conservo-puke, but I am smart enough not to want the same entity that runs the Post Office and Amtrack in charge of what doctor I can see.

“President Barack Obama warned Thursday that if Congress doesn’t deliver health care legislation by the end of the year the opportunity will be lost”

Hey Obamy, I think they are waiting on you to deliver it, along with the price tag, so they can run like hell from it.

[neocon1984]

It’s now or never ...

Hmmm! After a nanosecond of deliberation, I’ll go with ...

NEVER!

Oh and please Mr. Obama, I am really getting tired of your constant presence in my life. Leave me alone and STFU.

Thanks.

[TheOldLady]

Is he aging really, really fast, or did someone wrinkle him up a bit with photoshop?

[rightinalabama]

Never! But I can see that VAT coming to pay for it anyway.
Problem is.. how is he going to pay for the stuff he has
already rung up on our credit card without getting our
permission.

[rightwingextremist1776]

Na....I don't think Zero will allow Mama Obama near the ‘Ride again after that trip to NYC......

‘Healthcare for all Americans’

Even discounting South Americans here is a map of North America.

Extends to the Isthmus of Panama.
IOW Mexicans, Costa Ricans, Hondurans, Nicaraguans, etc.

Tell me how this will save money??

We pay for non-insured now in inflated costs for treatment.
Now the government wants to add another layer of bureaucracy. Employees, computers, blah blah.

Give me a break!

[TheThinker]

Because you only have the all-powerful, all-caring Obama as President once in your life...

[LongElegantLegs]

Never, please!

[trtdenver]

I’ll take never. Didn’t know he was into offering options. This makes my day.

[clamper1797]

I vote for NEVER

I thought he was the party of pro-choice, can we please choose our own healthcare and have the govt stay out of it.

[Bruinator]

He know’s that the end of the year brings a new election cycle and his cronies will be to busy trying to save their arses by campaigning, and ultimately they will lose seats and he won’t have he votes to pass it.

He certainly seems to be using the office for his own personal excursions. Wasn’t he just there?
