[One longtime friend of the former majority leader said Daschle planned to advise Obama to "go on vacation, get off the airwaves and get your people off the airwaves" in an attempt to lower the temperature of the debate and give Senate negotiators more time to craft a mutually satisfactory deal.

"A little radio silence wouldn't hurt," said the source, who is involved in health-care lobbying and spoke on the condition of anonymity to talk candidly about strategy.]

in other words, sneak it through under the radar. People won't protest and object if they don't know what is going on.

If the American Citizens wanted Socialist Health Care we would already have it.
We don’t and we don’t
That would say something to most normal people.
Obviously Obama and the Democrat Congress that are trying to ram Socialist health care odwn our throats are not normal people.

Daschle was Obama's first pick to oversee his reforms, but a firestorm over Daschle's failure to pay about $146,000 in taxes on time prompted the South Dakota Democrat in February to withdraw his nomination to be secretary of health and human services.

Daschle's problem was that he was one of the first crooks that was caught. If you remember criminality was not an issue in the later appointments.

Daschle makes me think of a T Roosevelt quote:

"Speak softly because you have a little stick".

Thanks for posting. The blood sucking, parasitic socialist has already consumed enough of free people’s resources. He can punch out anytime.

I am sure after that Oval Office meeting an extended visit from Super Slime Busters was desperately needed.

Inside the White House, there is a deep reservoir of support for Daschle, one of Obama's earliest backers in last year's campaign. Many of the president's advisers once worked for Daschle, including Rouse, communications director Anita Dunn, deputy communications director Dan Pfeiffer and legislative affairs director Phil Schiliro.

This is like incest.

I believe I remember a speech made by Daschle, just prior to his ignominious exit from th Obaba team early this year, that strongly hinted that health care would have to be rationed for the elderly. Does that jog anyone’s memory?

The changes in the tone and volume coming from the other side in the last several days to a week has given me a lot of concern. When they stop calling you nasty names, that means they’re plotting something a lot sneakier. The frontal assault is over. Now comes the sneak attack under cover of darkness.
