If he gets healthcare to work for everybody I will stop bashing him.

As of this morning, he no longer had any interest in working with the Democrats. Still trying to appease the Tea Party wing of the Republican party

Well, then, that's yet another example of his meaningless campaign rhetoric. "Coverage for all" and the Tea Party are oxymorons. They don't believe in it.

Once again - the man demonstrates he has no plan - as so beautifully stated by:

I never had a plan.

In fact, the thought of even reading a plan, much less actually doing the hard work to formulate one myself, just bores me to tears.

I actually plan on just endorsing whatever piece of crap the Republicans come up with.

I don't care if it drops millions of people from coverage, I don't care if it costs tens of thousands of lives.

Hell, I don't even plan to read it, just push it through for a "win" for my administration.

Then I'll probably go golfing."

Substitute what issue is currently being discussed. The foregoing will always be true.

Then how are poor people supposed to come up with the money to go to the doctor when they get sick? Beg for it in the street?

But President Johnson, a Democrat, brought about Medicare.

It's called a go-fund-me account now. Same thing but with better returns.

Too bad there is no leadership in the White House or the House of Representatives. We need a Ronald Reagan/Tip O'Neil type of relationship in Washington, They were on opposite sides politically but they worked together to get things done on both sides of the aisle. All they do in DC now is blame each other and nothing gets done.
