If it is a disaster, he'll be an idealist fool. Send in Emanuel to make sure it works.

If it is a success it will be the first time a government program is well managed and efficient. Besides... Obama wouldn't use reconciliation (or the nuclear option) to pass health care. That's against everything the democrats stand for.

Here BO calls the nuclear option...

So I don't know why the prospect of Obama using the nuclear option, or reconciliation is even coming up.

Rahm Emanuel
fuckin' retards.......

Medicare is 44 years old, time for a colonoscopy. The entire medical profession is based upon how to charge ten bucks for a Viagra pill. It doesn't matter what this Bill says, it's going to be rewritten a hundred times over the next generation anyway, what matters is that the Medical Profession starts healing American Citizens. Once people see that, the Republicans will never be able to take it away.

Non-Believers prepare to gaze in wide wonder next week as Obama seperates the RED SEA and lets his People go-go to the USA of the FUTURE.
"We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish," said the Republicans.
"All shall be fed" said Obama. And it was so.

Watch for Obama 2010 Election strategy after Healthcare is passed. Go HARD after Corporations and the Supreme Court Ruling that allows unlimited Corporate Donations. It should be interesting to see which side the Republicans line up with.

I was kind of hoping he'd go campaign for democratic candidates out there.

Patiently waiting for Tracy to abandon the party of "they can't do anything either" and get on the Obama Bus. A future where all Americans can get a Hand up. not a Hand out.

I am not a big fan of the republican party. Mostly because of the fact that most that I have met are bible thumping assholes...

Oh I think November will be quite productive. And conservatives have always been for a hand up rather than a hand out.

So way to go dems. I've always wondered where the DEMOCRA part of democrats came from. Certainly not from DEMOCRAcy because it seems that whenever necessary they abandon democratic principles and go socialist totalitarian dictator on us. The only thing bi-partisan about national health care was the opposition to it. Despite Obama's promise to have health care debates out in the open without back room deals, that's exactly what happened even though democrats had a super-majority for so long.
