Chuck Grassley: Obama Doesn't Sound Very "Post-Partisan"

On the day Congress reconvenes after recess, Sen. Chuck Grassley appears on "American Morning" and responds to President Obama's challenge to Republicans to come up with a solution to health care reform. He said those comments, coming from someone who spoke of being "post-partisan" on the campaign trail, sounds "very partisan contrary to what he promised" last year.

He also gives an essential definition of "Obamacare."

Don't forget that he said nothing about what his plan was, just that he was working on one. If Grassley talked about what was in the plan I'd listen, but as a typical politician, he's skirting the issue. He's had YEARS to come up with a plan but wasn't interested in helping the American people. Now suddenly he's whining about only having a few months to put something together and we're to believe he's actually still concerned about us?

Dems, do what you need to do to get the public option done. PLEASE abandon bipartisanship on this issue.

The only plan the Republicans have is Co-op? That is great. If 47 million American citizens are suposed to get together and form a co-op, then why do we need these lazy parasites making up some bill. You have government healthcare. You hypocrite.

well done and well said, the anchor was incredibly professional. CNN seems to be keeping their staff on their toes. Great interview thanks for sharing.

And this guy was supposed to be one of Obama's key allies in obtaining Republican support for health care. Fucking corporate whore.

[voyeurdug]

He's for whatever reform equals NO CHANGE. And he can present vaguely-stated business models that sound ever so scary. His plan is NO PLAN.
