So talks on health care are now extended into the spring because we have to play footsie with rethugs

According to President Obama. My take on this WE AIN'T GETTING NO REFORM!!!!!!!!!!PERIOD

1. But at least the blame will be on them, get it?

3. The stupid American people will keep going a long with rethug talking points

as long as they keep saying GOVERNMENT TAKE OVER!! and the Democrats and White House don't respond we are fucked by the way who the hell is Obama's Communications person there doing a lousy job getting messages out when rethugs start talking there talking points

7. It's not the fault of the people

The problem is the MSM which adopts those talking points uncritically. Katie Couric did it today in her interview with the President.

2. Was this just announced? I thought Pelosi was ready to go?! nt

4. OK, you're just ranting all over this place

I've had enough.

5. this WILL happen....let's not lose the faith! Pelosi and Obama are workin' on this.

6. What's the alternative? Let it die?

Because there's total stalemate now. This is the best way to "make lemonade out of the lemons."

And it may just work. The Rethugs have been whining... So let's see if they really want to fix it - if they really want help govern - or if they simply want to be asshole obstructionists.

8. A half day meeting is a good use of the bully pulpit.

Televised meetings proving republicans have no ideas and no desire to govern America are a necessary step in breaking their strangle hold on in congress and opening the door to reconciliation as a way of getting things done.
