"The best you can say about the effort is that it fits into the White House’s universal answer to all of its problems: 'We just need to explain to these confused Americans how we’ve been right about everything.' To that end, the White House wants to use Republicans as a skeptical prop-audience in one last infomercial for the ShamWow of Obamacare."
So, are the Republicans being set up by the White House? Obama is already committed to the House and Senate bills and unwilling to scrap them and start over. Is it plain as day what he's up to? Will the GOP fall into the trap and abandon us? Is bi-partisanship just another word for surrender and/or "cross the aisle and do it our way?"
"His agenda stymied and his approval numbers sinking, President Obama has realized this year's midterm election is shaping up as a referendum on failed Democratic governance. The new White House plan? Change the discussion, talk about Republicans, and frighten the nation about GOP ideas."
Like my Congressman from Florida GRAYSON said about the GOP healthcare plan! "they want you to Die"! They have no plan other than to lick the behinds of health insurers.
I say cut off the health benefits to Republicans and see how quickly they move!
This is a good ploy for the President,considering he smacked the {R}s around like a hooker on 7th avenue at their own retreat.Take note he didn't need a teleprompter.
The {R}s will show up with 2 weak proposals,buying across state lines and tort reform.Obama pointed out to them that buying across state lines is already in the bill if the states add them to the exchange.The average cost of HC insurance is on the low end is $3,600 and on the high end $4,200 for a single person.
If we averaged out to 3,800 the monthly payment would be $311 a month.So my million dollar question to the {R}s is how can a poor ****** making between $8 and $11 an hour afford to add $311 a month to already a tight budget?The poor shmucks won't be able to and will end up paying the fine to the federal gvt coffers for not having HC insurance.Duh!!!!!!!!!
Then {R} followers bring out the magic bullet touted by their talking bobble heads Rush/Hannity etc about how tort reform will lower cost.This is {R} hogwash and the free market that they say they support shows otherwise.The only reason a corporation exist and their main function is to increase profits.Why would the insurance companies lower premiums from the money they saved from tort reform?What would stop them from sticking the proceeds in their pockets?
Do you get my drift,tort reform would do nothing to cut the expense of HC insurance.
I am no expert on HC or anything for that matter and I really do not know how to solve the problem.I do look forward to the HC debate and I predict the President will smack them around again,and if they are a no show it will not look good for them.

No. The republicans should never cross the isle and work together.
They should always vote on straight party lines.
As a group, the Republicans have all of the answers for the problems facing our country.
Stonewalling and obstructionism is what they're paid for.
Why would they ever want to discuss issues with "the other side" ???

The GOP is currently in a position of having to deal with a White House that is substantially smarter than they. The GOP is ill equipped to deal with that, they had very little experience confronting that, during the previous Administration.
