Obama Tries To Save Dying Healthcare Bill (Call your congressmen and senators!)
The Business Insider ^ | Jul. 17, 2009 | Joe Weisenthal

Obama is set to give a speech at 3:15 on healthcare, as fears mount that the bill may already be dead.

Yesterday's (not too shocking) revelation from the CBO, that the bill would end up costing the government, not saving it money, seems to have really demoralized dems, who had been arguing that fiscal prudence and expanded coverage could go hand in hand.

Then today, Rasmussen came out with a poll suggesting that the majority of the public opposed the creation of a public plan.

Remember, Obama's job is to convinced Democrats the new scheme is a good one. They have the votes to do it. Problem is, they also have to run for office.

"Remember, Obama's job is to convinced Democrats the new scheme is a good one."

May be the first time in Obortion's woefully limited experience that he isn't able to get his words to trump reality in the minds of those upon whom he stands to obtain his lofty superior view.

Why does The First Thug even bother with Congress? Why can't he just sign Executive Orders left & right?

He wants desperately to rule by simple decree. After all, he is just SO BRILLIANT when compared to us lowly humans. Why does he need Congress?

He's gonna' tell us he killed his granny so why can't we all just get together on this and kill all the grannies.

Maybe Obama will get so mad his head will explode and take out that Gibbs puke and his TOTUS input guy ~ Axelrod.

(NOTE: Folks may notice that recently I've been discussing the President as if he's just someone's sockpuppet and is not intelligent enough to go to the bathroom alone ~ and darned if he doesn't get up and demonstrate that I am absolutely correct almost every single day).

Eff you Obama.

BTW, this is just a delay. When he forcibly seizes control of America, he'll just implement it -- costs and votes be damned!

Don’t count the bill as dead. Still time to call the bastards and tell them what you think.

The first major failure (well, since the stimulus bill, anyway) of his administration could result in a ‘Bama meltdown. Having come this far on the crest of affirmative action sentiment, it may be a totally new experience for him.

When he forcibly (tries to) seizes control of America,
he’ll be able to do what he wants to do directly,
instead of using the healthcare system to accomplish
the ends he seeks - total control of lives, lifestyles, and behaviors.
