Nonsense, I've got the tax refund to PROVE they care about me.

Everyone making under $250K a year has benefited from this administration.
I'd say that's pretty 'caring' to me.

Not to mention the Dems had 60 votes anyway and didn't even need a single vote from the Reps to pass a bill.
Yeah, it worked real well for Scott Brown. He went from Tea Party hero to RINO in like 60 seconds when voting for the jobs bill.

Even if Obama said to Republicans, "I'll incorporate every idea you've got into the bill", they would still reject it. Their desire to see him fail overrides everything else.

We will have to wait a few hours, until FOX constructs their spin, to hear some of CD posters "opinions" regurgitated. It will probably include terms like tinkering edges, blank sheet, do over ... all new stuff I am sure.

They're indeed. I hate to see that Obama continues to waste time, trying to reconcile. It was plenty evident during and after the televised debate last week. They refuse to accept reality and will stick to their talking points regardless. They've loads of sheeple to feed, and then take them to the slaughterhouse.

Six Republican Ideas Already in the Health Care Reform Bill

If they're the party of no, how come SIX ideas are presented which are apparently solid enough to warrant Obama's attention?

The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”

No one is suggesting that we do nothing, but the majority of people want it done the proper way, and not the socialist plan Obama has to ruin the country.
This is another ploy to try to pass his BS bill. It's not going to happen
toss the whole thing out, do it right and it will pass in no time..
Obama will not get the bill passed, no matter what tricks he resorts to. He is DONE... a lame duck with three years left... It's over...!

No, what's over is Republicans' obstruction of health care legislation. Reconciliation (majority rule) is going to happen, and they can't stop it.

It's lunacy to say that Obama is trying to "ruin the country" with the health care bill. You'd have to be paranoid to the point of being mentally ill in order to believe such a thing.
