God these people complain about everything...when they're not hurling wild unfounded speculation about Obama's underlying "socialist" motives, they are whining about him not cow-towing to them...and before that, during the campaign, they were complaining that he was too soft/weak...

just a bunch of effing crybaby's and sore losers...Republicans will find anything to whine about..

OP- Didn't King Arthur create a round table so none of his squabbling knights could feel superior to another? That might work.

I suggest putting all the supporters at one table and the Republican opponents down the hall in the men's lavatory so they could dispose of their ideas more efficiently.

I would rather nothing getting done, than to pass an unconstitutional health care bill.

after all, the general welfare clause in our Constitution says "promote", not "provide".

Yup, stalling and not doing what they were elected to do...its sad...its so obvious that all these congressmen are going to do is stall and bicker until about August or september, at which time they will come to a consensus RIGHT before the election, so that they can tout how they, the incumbents, have recently worked in a bipartisan fashion to solve a huge social issue..of course they are banking on the hope that the newly passed legislation will completely overshadow the last year and 6 months of getting absolutely NOTHING accomplished.

Before Health Care Summit, GOP Wants Its Table - Political Hotsheet - CBS News

I don't know why Obama is wasting his time on this. I'll be shocked if he gets one Republican vote for health care reform.
0bama lacked the leadership to get his super majority democrats to vote for it, so don't be shocked if he cannot get republicans to vote for it now.
