White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said President Barack Obama has no constitutional concerns about signing a bill passed by controversial House rules that are being proposed by Democrats to pass healthcare.
Obama, a former constitutional law professor, would sign a bill if it is passed by the controversial "Slaughter Solution," Gibbs said.
The proposal would deem the Senate version of the bill passed after House approval without an actual vote in the House. House Republicans have cried foul, and many have questioned whether that process would be constitutional.
But Obama has downplayed any controversy surrounding the procedure, telling Fox News Channel on Wednesday that the American people are more concerned with healthcare reform than the process.

I deem Gibbs a fool and a moron.
If they think it’ll pass, all that tells me is that they haven’t read the Constitution in some time, if ever.
If they think it’ll pass, all that tells me is that they haven’t read the Constitution in some time, if ever.
There is a well known photo of 0bama teaching his law class. On the blackboard was not law but community organizing Alinsky garbage
Obama is only misguided, ill-advised, or incompetent. Hey, folks it’s not Obama’s fault that Obamacare may pass. He’s just an innocent bystander. Hail, Barack Hussein Obama, the Messiah, the Anointed One.
When I heard someone say deem and pass on the radio today, that’s exactly what it sounded like. Seems quite appropriate for those who contract with the Devil.
Gibbs, if I wanted to know what a moron thought about the Constitution I would have asked your boss.
And then he’ll deem this and then he’ll deem that and then he’ll deem some more until there’ll be “too much deemin’ goin’ on out deah”.
Andrew Jackson figured that out.
The problem is once it’s law the states can complain and file all they want to. The feds will start collecting taxes and no company is going to be the first to refuse to deduct the taxes from the payroll.
He was NOT a professor. Another lie about Odinga.
“...said President Barack Obama has no constitutional concerns...”
Yeah, we know. We’ll ‘splain it to him during his trial for treason.
“Which the Feds will hem and haw, ignore and delay...Meanwhile the raping of the rest of our pocketbooks will commence the second it is declared “passed”..”
Not me. I won’t pay a cent in unconstitutional taxes.
If you can’t go to DC, then go to their local offices, or hold street corner rallies in front of a nursing home, or SS office. Be sure to put your signs on sticks you can then rest on, hands will cramp. Take photos, call media, talk radio, program them into your phones. Take a supply of magic markers, and a bull horn if you have access to one. Hit the Medicare cut & gut theme..nothing like mad grannies and gramps. VA Cuts, taxes on special needs kids...35 new taxes.
Pass it on! There is $500 BILLION in Cuts to Medicare, SS, Huge fees for Tricare for Life, the over 65 retired Military’s health ins. 8% cuts to Medicare benefits, 15% cuts to nursing homes, cuts to in home nursing care of Medicare patients. 35 NEW taxes to be collected for 4 years BEFORE the health care promised goes into effect! Even a tax on Special Needs Kids, like Jerry’s Kids.
Call all your Reps today.........raise as much noise about the Medicare cut & Gut to give illegals FREE health care and our jobs as you can...it’s CRUNCH TIME to save the soul of America. He’s now promising LaRaza free health care for illegals and more jobs.

Obama spent last week campaigning for health care reform, at one point getting some college-age fans worked up about all the free stuff — “free” preventive care and “free” checkups and so forth — they would receive if his version of health care reform passed.
TRI CARE FOR LIFE This from a google search:

This option would help reduce the costs of TFL, as well as costs for Medicare, by introducing minimum out-of pocket requirements for beneficiaries. Under this option, TFL would not cover any of the first $525 of an enrollee’s cost-sharing liabilities for calendar year 2011 and would limit coverage to 50 percent of the next $4,725 in Medicare cost sharing that the beneficiary incurred. (Because all further cost sharing would be covered by TFL, enrollees could not pay more than $2,888 in cost sharing in that year.) http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/99xx/doc9925/12-18-HealthOptions.pdf

CODE RED Contact list http://www.nrcc.org/CodeRed/targets/
Remember they are all being offered BRIBES for their votes. Ask them how much their bribe price is.
The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.

Congressional Dems on Twitter

And here are toll-free numbers we can use to call any Senators or Reps.
At the first number below you must wait through a tape recording urging you to tell your Rep or Senator to vote “yes” for the health care bill. Just hang on and when the recording is over, you will get the Capitol operator. Just ask for your Rep or Senator’s office. Then you will either talk to an aid or have the chance to leave a message for him/her to vote NO on the health care bill.
When you use the second number and the Capitol operator comes on, just ask for your Rep or Senator’s office. Every time I use this number I get the Rep or Senator’s answer machine, so it may be set up that way all the time...to go to their answer machine. Either way you can leave a message to vote NO on the health care bill!
We need to use these toll free numbers that have been set up for the health care/ BO supporters and illegals to use! After all they are FREE!
1-866-220-0044, 1-866-338-1015, 877-851-6437, 877-210-5351
I will take a wild guess that you have published more than he has in your field.
All they care about is getting it passed by hook or by crook.
If it was as popular as they say it is, they wouldn’t need every trick in the book would they?
