In the course of unveiling Obama’s new health reform proposal on a conference call with reporters this morning, White House advisers made it clearer than ever before: If the GOP filibusters health reform, Dems will move forward on their own and pass it via reconciliation.
The assertion, which is likely to spark an angry response from GOP leaders, ups the stakes in advance of the summit by essentially daring Republicans to try to block reform.
“The President expects and believes the American people deserve an up or down vote on health reform,” White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer said on the call.
The Obama administration sees nothing wrong with extending deadlines with the Iranian regime in its quest to achieve a nuclear weapon. When it comes to dealing with the mad mullahs negotiation is without limit.
President Obama has very different ideas when it comes to the government takeover of health care. As far as he is concerned the time for negotiation has ended, it's time for the Republicans to get on board or get run over.
Minority leader Mitch McConnell is already throwing his hands in the air claiming that he doesn't have the votes to stop reconciliation. That's no reason not to fight. The American people deserve a Senate Minority leader that is willing to use every tool at his disposal to make the fight last as long as possible. The more time the American public has to learn what the Democrats are up to and how little they value the opinion of the people they claim to represent, the more involved the people will beome. The Democrats in their hubris will awaken a righteous anger that will sweep across this great land and refresh the spirit of liberty that has been long dormant.
