It's Time to Enact Health Care Reform With 51 Senate Votes

This week the president is hosting a bipartisan gab-fest at the White House to try to tease out some Republican votes for health care reform. It's a total waste of time. If Obama thinks he's going to get a single Republican vote at this stage of the game, he's fooling himself (or the American people). Many months ago, you may recall, the White House and Democratic party leaders in the Senate threatened to pass health care with 51 votes -- using a process called "reconciliation" that allows tax and spending bills to be enacted without filibuster -- unless Republicans came on board. It's time to pull the trigger.

... he's fooling himself"

Apparently, he does. How or WHY Dems are worried about "having enough votes" when THEY are in the majority is beyond me. Sound like an excuse for being wimps/lack of political will, IMO.
