You see, he's not running for reelection and isn't concerned with trying to look good for the camera. He's simply holding to simple fiscal principals by requiring pay as you go even if it pisses off dems. Everyone should think this way, we can't keep deficit spendig, we need to know we have the money before we start spending it....a very simple concept that most of us hold to...because its our hard earned money. Politicians all too often loose sight of whose money they spend.

I wouldn't worry about Obamas health care bill, the taxes that they accumulate

in the 4 yrs, and set aside to pay for the health care, will be spent on something else, and there won't be any money to fund it, no politician, especially a Democrate can leave any type of surplus money alone for to long.

Notice how the costs are laddered and how the biggest hits are scheduled to hit AFTER Obama's first term is up.

DId she say that Owebama DID reach out during the summit? THAT is what is called reaching out? WOW. I feel for those naive liberals that continue to want so much to believe in O. Blind faith has no place in politics though. It is clear that his bill would BK the US.... now why would any leader want to do that? Hidden agenda maybe? And, let's pretend he really DID care about the health of Americans.... why not take the time to do it right? Again ~ hidden agenda maybe?

Didn't this stupid ass socialist just say last week that "all that can be said about Health Care has been said"? Didn't he say he was done talking about it? And now Odumba comes out and gives yet ANOTHER speech about Health Care. HEY ODUMBA! WE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DON'T WANT YOU TO SOCIALISE OUR COUNTRY! GO BACK TO KENYA, YOU COMMIE PINKO MOTHER FUCKER!

If this passes it will be challanged as unconstitutional in requiring anyone to purchase insurance.

This is really sad what the Democratic party has become. Union is the new name for mafia.

obama's campaign slogan for 2012?

"Don't blame me,

it was already f-ed up".

These people never take ownership of anything because they don't know what leadership is.

...

10 years of taxes for 6 years of benefits. How retarded is that? Robbing social security and medicare to pay for healthcare. How stupid is that? You gotta be a moron to believe that this bill is deficit-neutral. Focus on the economy, stupid, not health care.
