Senate Parliamentarian Deals Blow to obamacare (Representatives, Congress, Pelosi, health care)

The Senate Parliamentarian has ruled that President Barack Obama must sign Congress’ original health care reform bill before the Senate can act on a companion reconciliation package, senior GOP sources said Thursday.

So much for the conniving, corrupt democrats trying to change the rules in the House in the hopes of being able to pass the senate bill, not send it to the president for his signature and then try and pass the reconciliation elements in the Senate.

Can't reconcile a bill that is not law, apparently.

Who would have thought?

Is there no lengths to the dirty dealings the democrats will attempt in trying to get this horrible, destructive, massively unpopular bill passed....just to give a "win" to obama?

The massive ego of the man is breathtaking - to use his own members for cannon fodder to appease his maniacal ego.

How much a problem that would be, remains to be seen. Although, I am sure you would like it to be so. If it is a problem, it's because the House Dems have about the same faith in the Senate Dems as the American people have in ALL Representatives. I specifically said Dems because none of the Repubs will work to get Health Care moving, nor virtually any legislation for that matter.

Lets see, that should take ten minutes

Amazing that the ONLY roadblock is the mistrust between democrats.

No such thing as 'obamacare'. Maybe you are referring to Health Care Reform?

The real party of NO, the dems are fighting among themselves with this bill.

They cannot even give us a decent HC bill with real reforms correctly.

Why are they saying NO to the American people?

Obamascare is about dead. How much longer do we have to allow them to work on this BS when we need to work on creating jobs.

The real party of NO, the DEMS are about to become toast.

Sorry, but this is Obamas baby.

I can see you believe this will fail so now you are trying to separate him from this bill.

This is his baby and he failed the American people with REAL HC REFORM.

Chalk this up as another OBAMA failure.

This should be no problem for the Democrats. Aren't they using the Wetlands Protection Act to keep the Great Pelosi Swamp from being drained?

No such thing as 'health care reform" either. Maybe you mean health insurance subsidy bill ?
