Lets make it obama WATERLOO not Senior Citizens waterloo.
Kill it before it grows.

Of course thats because they used live ammo in training.

Whether the proposal is a good idea or not (it ISN’T!) it really represents an overreach when we have an economy that is not recovering. Comparing Obama’s proposal to <a href=”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Market_Garden”Operation Market Garden is more apt, as much as I would like to see Obama banished to Elba. Healthcare is the Arnhem bridge, an extreme overreach. We have double digit unemployment in many areas of the country. Now is not the time to radically change the healthcare industry, probably one of the lights in the economy right now. It’s like they want EVERY industry on its butt.

I agree this is a watermark moment. His number will never be as high as they have been and he is pretty much accomplished squat.

Next summer, Congress will be concerned about their own arses. Next fall, they wont even be in session.

In some form, the Dems hoped to accomplish Universal Health Care, Cap and Tax, Amnesty, Card Check, Don’t Ask Don’t Tell reversal and more l before 2010. Never going to happen. Not even close.

My one quibble is that we should make this Obama’s moment. If we make this a Republican versus Democrat moment, we may galvanize party loyalties and push some wobbly Dems back in line. We can win, but unfortunately, we can’t do it alone. We can smash the Dems with it in 2010 and 2012, but before the vote we probably shouldn’t being throwing stones at the pro-life Democrats and the budget hawk Democrats that we will need to sink this legislation.

Obama is going to point his finger at America tonight and lie right through his teeth to America tonight as the state run media give him another prime time special to hawk his health deform plan. (no typo)
Are we going to hear all about the mean and evil wapubwicans who are causing pregnant mothers to die in the streets or stories of little sick children whose parents must choose between food and medicine to keep them alive.
Obama and his media cohorts will be absolutely shameless tonight in their dishonesty.
“The President really needed to connect with the people tonight Andrea. Do you think he made the sale…?
Oh absolutely Brian. He hit it out of the park as many Americans who are desperate for health care and the President’s plan support him by 70%. All the polls indicate a very strong backlash against Republicans if they try to deny sick people their medicine.
Andrea…I just don’t get it. Why would Republicans want people to die?
I don’t know Brian. It could be because they don’t care about the poor as much as the President does.
Yes Andrea. He certainly does.”

The people have already heard about what is in his bill and they want nothing to do with it.

I’m seeing the president of my country literally become unhinged. He’s made a lot of promises, he’s backtracked or “corrected” himself on his issues (”no, no, no, the stimulus wasn’t meant to spur economic growth, it’s a 2-year plan that’s working as expected”), and right now he’s weak and vulnerable. The GOP and we the people need to continue holding his and the Dem’s feet to the fire on this and make those who think any part of this is a good idea know that any public plan will destroy our economy and our freedom. I’m encouraged by the clips I’ve heard (barring the “birthers” ) from the various town meetings where Americans are rightfully angry and making their voices heard.

However, I keep hearing that the fact that Obama and the dems are forced to slow down on this is a good thing. I’ve got to disagree. With Obama & Co. force feeding this and pressing the August deadline, the American people are cautious and tired of hearing him and there are Dems on Capitol Hill that are questioning it.

My fear is, with them slowing this down, it gives those pushing this the opportunity to calculate and revise the bill in such a way that appeals to Dems who are wary and unlikely to vote for it now, and, heaven forbid, they’re able to pull some from our side with some watered down “bi-partisan” version.

It’s a dangerous time right now, and I pray that we who oppose this disaster-in-waiting continue to fight and fight hard till we have none left in us and the idea of government-run health care is a lifeless corpse on the House floor…..

While everyone is distracted by Healthcare and Cap&Tax, Obama slips another major boondoggle through that destroys 1st Amendment rights.

The latest Obama crackdown is taming “an unruly blogosphere” —the next nail in the coffin of the First Amendment through government control and censorship. Obama appoints someone who believes government ought to “gently force people to be better human beings.”

We are now swimming in dangerous waters.

After this stupid house healthcare bill gets rightfully whacked, maybe the Dems will figure out it IS the economy, STUPIDS!

The American people want to see some economic growth, job creation, and fiscal reponsibility before getting loaded up with a $2T entitlement program.

Their timing is horrid.

It is indeed high time for us to reduce Obama to what he is really: an empty suit.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we’re going to destroy Obama once for all.

After his Asculum, he saw he did not have the winning hand, and went home with his army to fight another time.

Bambi’s Asculum was Porkulus. He is bogged down with Crap-n-Tax halfway passed, and his political capital has already been drained too far to win with BambiCare.

He’s done. D. O. N. E.

Which doesn’t mean we sit back and watch it happen. It means we rally and overwhelm the whole Democrat Army.

I may be paranoid (please, God, let that be the case!), but I smell a trap here. This has all been set up that the ship is sinking and Obama is going to make one last gasp to right it. His last minute plea will be gloriously worshipped by the lapdog media (see NeoKong’s comment above), some backroom deal will be struck, and just enough “moderate” Dems will come on board. Obama will be declared the SAVIOUR of healthcare.

Please please PLEASE let me be wrong!!

God willing.

I cant stand her, but she’s a feisty old plastic hag. I think she’s posturing for confidence and momentum. But she is dogged and the House Dems are wimps.

We need to rally all Republicans and pick off some endangered Demcorats, deficit hawks and pro-lifers.

political death after HillaryCare among other things? It wasn’t exactly his Waterloo.

I do think that the situation is somewhat different now however. It is unlikely that the economy will improve like it did in the 90’s, and I believe that Obama does not have the political instincts of Bill Clinton is to wedded to liberal ideology to reinvent himself as a centrist.

I think handing him a defeat on healthcare would be extremely gratifying and damaging, not to mention good for the country, but I think that all this talk of the Waterloo of a presidency that is only six months old is a little silly.

Even if we can stop the Obama offensive at ObamaCare, he’s still got a lot of forces and large majorities in Congress. So it’s not like he would need to surrender if he loses this battle.

While we may be able to stop the advances and perhaps define his high-water mark, we will face many more battles before we could talk about his power being broken. Especially since we’re the side with inferior strength at this point.
