President Barack Obama, trying to regain control of the health-care debate, will likely shift his pitch in September, White House and Democratic officials said, as he faces pressure from supporters to talk more about the moral imperative to provide health insurance to all Americans.
The rethinking comes amid a struggle by the White House to clarify its view on a public insurance plan, which liberals see as a critical part of a health overhaul.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Sunday that a public plan isn't the "essential element" of a health bill, prompting sharp words from liberal groups.

We don’t need no stinking representatives to have town halls, they can continue at will if the Citizenry so desires, all you-tubed and ready to go viral. Bring it on bambi, you are such a puss.
The cat is way out of the bag. The sandwich is on the plate, and we all know what’s in it now. Having failed to make his case with reason, he is now going to turn make an emotional appeal, and the sandwich filling will magically change to something edible? Who thinks this will work?
In other words: “We got new polling data and new focus group material that we are going to use.”

What is moral about Caskets for Clunkers?

Exactly!
Stealing is immoral!
When you ‘capture’ value in an economy it’s the same thing as looting! (Wall Street, Banksters, Government, etc...)
We should focus on ‘value creation’. Exchanging ‘value for value’ creates wealth! The process enriches all sides exponentially!
For those who cannot afford it, there is charity! (We should all be involved in charity. Forced charity is stealing, not a virtue!)
Only a ‘Progressive’ would take a ‘virtue’ and turn it into a ‘Right’.
Are you working with the FBI to incite the right wing to violence a la Hal Turner?

A tip of my hat to my friend, Ben Cerruti, for providing this look at the Obamanation called Obamacare.
Write, email, fax or call your Senators and your Representative and tell them to vote NO!
we need our own “truth squads” to quickly identify these people when they surface, and quickly expose their B.S. to the blogs and talk show circuits.
You make a point many deliberately forget or ignore. Christ’s call to help is a call to individuals to do so. There is no place saved for me in Heaven because I voted to take someone else’s money to do good.
Fake doctors, fake “victims”; trash insurance companies; lie about AARP (sort of); lie about death panels.....more unlistenable cadence and intonation. People who say this turd is a great speaker are nuts. He’s awful, with or without TOTUS.
Since it doesn’t start until 2013, going to be a lot of dead people from those sob stories. What a load of BS from the Democrat plants.
>>>> Increasing the suffering of an elder American in order to provide “free” healthcare to an illegal immigrant is immoral. <<<<
Capitol Hill is a country club for sociopaths. Democrats AND Republicans.
They don’t care if it’s immoral.
They’re laughing at the American people.
