Mr Obama couldn’t care less what we, the citizens, want. He spoke Wednesday regarding what I term “ObamaKare.” The One omnipotently states that the “debate is over.”
As per ABC News, in clear contravention of what he said earlier, Mr Obama now has chosen to go “nuclear” with ObamaKare.
He (Obama) will call for an up or down vote, as has happened in the past, and though he won’t use the word reconciliation, he’ll make it clear that if they’re not given an up or down vote, Democrats will use the reconciliation rules.
What that means is: Demorats will use the so-called “reconciliation rules” — which require only 51 Senate votes — to pass the Senate bill update.

I am almost to the point now where I want them to do it. At least then your graphic would only represent the number of terms this guy gets to serve.
That graphic already represents the number of terms Obama will have…
Serve is NOT what Obama is doing…
I stand corrected on both points sir. 🙂
Splendid…my student loans aren’t even paid off and soon I’ll be a government employee, less the “Cadillac” benefits of course. I wonder if they’re going to kick in for my malpractice insurance? Doubtful.
First strike w/nukes. The retaliatory strike is going to be MASSIVE.
I’m with FJ – We’ll go nuclear on the clowns that pass this 2,400 page monstrosity.
Not only are the Demorats completely “tone deaf” on this and their other issues, but they apparently have no concept whatsoever as to the cost to be exacted if this abortion happens to pass.
They will PAY with lost seats in both the House and Senate.
But the bottom line really, folks, is this:
It ISN’T anything about what any of these slithery snakes are SAYing. . .
Instead, it’s all about how they will actually VOTE when push comes to shove.
We’ll see just how massively stupid they may or may not be.
One very EASY prediction — and Mr Obama clearly KNOWS this:
If ObamaKare does NOT pass, then anything and everything he wishes to push through is not only in jeopardy but stands little if any chance of close scrutiny. He will tread water for the next three years.
He DESperately FEARS being a ONE term president.

BZ,
Great graphic. I, too think that the nuke option is a wide open door for Repubs if they aren’t too stupid to push it open. I have little hope that they’ll botch it and go back to their spending ways. I don’t think politicians can help themselves.
BZ, doesn’t matter if the bill is passed or not in either case Obama will tread water for the next three years–he’s already doing it. His agenda has been trashed by his arrogant eagerness to transform America into a socialist state.
Yep, it’s about to get interesting… Payback occurs in 8 months…
What’s your problem here? You like insurance companies gouging you and denying coverage? You like the US begin 37th in health care delivery?
Wake up guys, stop being lap dogs for the corporate elite who are only out to get you to buy their fear and lies and screw you in the end!
Anyway, the majority wants this. Let the stupid tea baggers revel in their ill conceived, racist anger if they want.
Wow… I’m going to be the ignoran rube here and ask a few questions. Because, honestly, I don’t know the answers to the following questions. Enlighten me.
* 37th by whose reckoning and under what statistics? I suspect that your number is complete bullshit. I know and am related to very very poor people. They have healthcare. They bitch and complain about the free clinics constantly but they get the care that they need. I don’t know a single person who can’t get healthcare.
* Which corporate elite exactly? I don’t know a single person that works in the healthcare industry except for my own doctor who spent 45 minutes ranting about this disaster last week. The AMA may support it but I can’t find a doctor who does. What IS corporate elite anyway? Do they talk funny?
* Which majority wants this? Do you have proof? I haven’t seen a single poll that had a majority in favor of this. I’ve looked at the polls around this and ABC, CBS and CNN all have the acceptance at right around 40%. That’s not a majority using anyones math. Please show me that I’m wrong.
* Do you even know what a tea bagger is? If you did would you use that slur in the same way? Have you ever been to a Tea Party to prove your theory or are you just assuming that anyone that doesn’t agree with you is a racist? Hell, you don’t even have to participate. I’m willing to bet that you’ve never even SEEN a tea party much less been to one. I know this because I have seen them and your characterization of those Americans is completely wrong (beyond being obscene and racially motivated). I would suggest that if you haven’t seen this for yourself that you re-evaluate your definition of “lapdog”.
Jinksto, let me enlighten you a bit..
BD is a moron, and if BloZep doesn’t rid his blog OF that piece of trash, he’s going to see his blog go down hill because OF that piece of moronic garbage…
I stay away from here quite a lot recently, mainly because OF asshole libbers like BD, but, it’s BloZep’s blog, he can run it his way…
But when you have a troll like this BD idiot, and he/she/it brings nothing to the table, why feed the guy?
Mostly for the same reason that people look at car wrecks on the highway. It’s fun to watch.
You like the US begin 37th in health care delivery?
Just so long as they remain #1 in direct measures of health care outcomes, as they usually do when not measured against the flakey non-uniform indirect measures tha
…t the so-called “advocates” for socialist health care delivery systems frequently tout.
Jinksto, damned good point!
Yo, bd, brain-dead good buddy. If the US has such horrible health care, answer one more question for me (after you’re done with Jinksto’s questions, that is):
Why did Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams opt to have his heart surgery in New Jersey? The scenic beauty or maybe the weather?
Oh, and btw, Newfoundland and Labrador are provinces in Canada. Those are sorta like states here in America.

CJ: You miss the point. Again. It’s not about the quality. It’s about the access. It’s about insurance companies gouging you and me and then denying coverage.
TexasFred: Yes, boot me because I have opposing viewpoints (aka, the truth) it’s the righty way to censor. Yes, you’re vile and racists posts are so much preferred, ll!
jinksto: Stop the feign. You know exactly what I mean in all those points. Watch this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/04/jon-stewart-fox-news-sarah-palin-megyn-kelly_n_485235.html
BZ, Sorry. Obama has said he doesn’t care if he is a one termer. Too bad if he is, that means people are buying the corporate financed GOP lies again.
Health Care will pass, the GOP will be exposed once more are the party of NO and NO ideas and lose even more seats. Stop betting on the crap you get from Fox News. They were wrong all along.
bd: just as you accuse myself and others here as being simply “Fox Watchers” you’re simply another “HuffPo” type, apparently.
BZ
Brain Dead, I don’t want to see you booted because you’re different, I want to see you dumped because you’re a full of shit libber troll that throws the accusation of racism at the drop of a hat, you’re useless and what you call facts are nothing more than Keith Olbermann and HuffPo talking points…
Nothing different from any other POS libber troll, and honestly, why BZ tolerates you at all is beyond me…
Too bad Keith and HuffPo speak truth compared to RUSH/FOX.
@BD I ask you seriously for proof of the statements that you’re making and you post a link to a comedian? Seriously? Is that where you get your news?
@TexasFred I reckon I aint been around here long enough to try and engage people in conversation. I really thought I had good points when I replied to BD. Turns out I shoulda just posted a link to a Leno monologue. Thanks for setting me straight I’ll stop feeding the trolls now.
And notice, Brain Dead defends Olbermann and HuffPo and not the accusations of being a full of shit libber troll made against himself…
That is a telling fact… LMAO
