IT'S BACK!!

It's an election year and their still going to try to shove healthcare through. Why? What is so important about this that they're willing to risk everything to get it passed? Control, power, wealth? All of these are important to politicians yet I've never seen them so fixated on gaining any of them that they are willing to lose it all. They aren't even trying to hedge their bets.

Maybe it's not they, just he. Maybe Obama is so ideologically driven that none of the traditional political rules apply. Maybe he's so blinded by ideology and his own faith in his superior moral position that he figures we'll eventually come 'round to his point once we see that he just wants the "best" for us. After all, plebeians can't be expected to understand such complex matters; they need to be led.

Obama is courting political disaster but he is too arrogant and narcissistic to see it. Or maybe he knows something we don't. This whole healthcare thing is politically counterintuitive. Somethings up and it can't be good for the Republic. I'm interested to see if the Democrat Party goes along with this. Personal survival generally trumps party loyalty with any politician.

Personally, I'm getting tired of this and I would imagine so are a number of others. This is probably what they're hoping for; to wear us down. We may be tired of it but I think the administration is in for a surprise if they think we'll roll over. Is it possible they could be this inept? I don't think so and that's what worries me.

"President Barack Obama is expected to publish his healthcare plan as early as Sunday or Monday, combining features of the two Democratic bills passed by the Senate and House of Representatives, congressional aides and healthcare advocates said on Friday.

The administration's bill will aim to jump-start the stalled healthcare overhaul and comes just days ahead of a planned televised White House summit with congressional Republicans, who are calling on Democrats to scrap the bills and start over with a far less sweeping proposal.
Democrats are struggling to push healthcare legislation over the finish line in the face of sagging public support and solid Republican opposition bolstered by recent election victories in Massachusetts, Virginia and New Jersey.

The legislation the White House will post on its website is expected to reflect common ground negotiated over the past several weeks by House and Senate Democratic leaders.
Those agreements are likely to be combined as a privileged budget reconciliation bill, which only needs a simple 51-vote majority to pass the 100-member Senate instead of the 60-vote supermajority that has become routine in the Senate and gives Republicans power to block the healthcare bill."
