This shows how out of touch Obama and the Democratic party is with mainstream America.  9 months ago the insurance industry went to the Dems and said they will cover everyone, including pre-existing conditions, with no rejections, and while doing that will be able to bring down the cost of healthcare.  Obama and the Congressional leadership not only rejected the offer, but also told them that they must keep their mouths shut or Obama and Congress would start going after their companies with investigations and mandates like they did the lending institutions and auto industry.  All the 46 healthcare insureres wanted was a mandate from Congress and the president that everyone would have to be insured.  We pay for the uninsured right now by higher premiums.  If the young and the healthy have to have insurance, the expense could be spread out farther, thus reducing the costs.  But Obama wants to take over the healthcare industry and included in the bill is mandates that ALL healthcare workers would have to be unionized.  See how this crooked, evil Chicago thug does business to pay back his friends.  Do your homework people.  The Liberty counsel has and overview at http://www.liberty.edu/media/9980/attachments/healthcare_overview_obama_072909.pdf and the whol bill at http://www.capwiz.com/afanet/webreturn/?url=http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.3200:.  The “messiah” is a fraud and has been exposed.

C’mon!

ANY sap can see that over the last fifteen years partisan politicization of EVERY issue that’s come down the road has COMPLETELY eliminated any semblance of the political parties actually behaving in ways that are beneficial to “the common good”.  Politically-speaking – everything now is only about each respective party “winning”.

Frankly, this whole health care reform legislation thing has degenerated into something resembling a completely bizarre realty TV show – or an out-of-control middle school student council election!

The whole thing is embarrassing.

Here’s Don’s concluding paragraph:

——start Don——————
So much for Obama’s bipartisna efforts.  So what if the GOP has decided to make a political issue out of health care reform?  Isn’t that what the Democrats did when they didn’t like a piece of Republican legislation?  It’s all about politics and Obama is extremely naive if he didn’t realize that from the start.  What he is really trying to do is shift the blame for his own failure on this to the opposition and it won’t work.  The American people know that the health care bill is a bad one and they don’t need the GOP to tell them that.
—————- end————————
and in particular this sentence.
“So what if the GOP has decided to make a “political issue out of health care reform”?

The Republicans have created their own health care reform bills. That they’d presumably like to see become law.

Don thinks that it’s OK for partisan politics to trump any changes to health care.  Us first, the American people last.  Quite sad

Obama is complaining that Republicans are playing politics. Got to be kidding us. Politics has nothing to do with health care in the first place unless there is a political plot to take over the lives of all Americans.

The world has not viewed sick and warped idiologo like that of Obama and his gang of trolls since Germany began to fall under the spell of the Democratic Socialists.

The ideas spewing out of the DNC is darn right Sadistic and hateful.

TK will refute what I say like most other Europeans and Canadians.

Anything as extensive, all-encompassing and infinitely complicated as health care MUST be bi-partisan.  To fashion it in a way acceptable to only half the populace will surely fail.  Obama could very well save face and perhaps the viability of his presidency by declaring that he wants to start over and put the best efforts of both parties’ to work on real, constructive, and affordable solutions to the various problems confronting us. It’s clear that the majority of Americans are not buying his dream of what they are perceiving as socialized, government-run health care, mainly because he cannot convince us that it will work or fit into the American concept of individual freedom and independence.  With the best brains of both parties working on the issue, we may well come up with a workable solutiion plan which will reaffirm our world leadership in solving problems.  President Obama He should take a careful look at Woodrow Wilson’s extreme partisanship in excluding Republicans from any part in the creation of League of Nations, leading to its subsequent failure to be accepted by the American people.  Health care is too important to all of us for it to be given over exclusively to the concerns of the interest groups which support the Democratic party or left-wing concepts.

I read tonight that hopes of stopping ObamaCare, (or perhaps: Kennedy Care (?); could very well be going down the drain because of three wayward Republican Senators ! >  Charles Grassley, Michael Enzi, and Olympia Snowe could very well hand a victory over to B.O, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.  Would certainly not hurt to make some phone calls, or to send some faxes to these “wannabe traitors”, if you are against this nightmare of a health care bill !  Just wanted to get this out there, in case you haven’t heard by now. 
Take care, everyone !
