And that is a bit scary:
On Thursday night, Reid went over to the White House for a talk with the president. The conversation centered on Reid’s desire to put Schumer’s national opt-out plan into the base bill. White House officials were not necessarily pleased, and they made that known. Everyone agrees that they didn’t embrace Reid’s new strategy. Everyone agrees that the White House wants Snowe on the bill, feels the trigger offers a safer endgame, and isn’t convinced by Reid’s math. But whether officials expressed a clear preference for the trigger, or were just worried about the potential for 60 votes, is less clear. One staffer briefed on the conversation says “the White House basically told us, ‘We hope you guys know what you’re doing.’”
The country sure is in the best of hands, right?

Harry must be getting pressure from his lobbyists…
This health care bill doesn’t matter. Once the Whiner in Chief gets on board and signs the climate change treaty, we are finished as a soverign nation.
We have a wimp in the White House, an appeaser who’s going to get our troops killed in Afghanistan, and the starry-eyed kooks who support this man either fail, or refuse to see it.
I guess I’d better be careful what I say on this blog; our freedoms are being trampled, and unless I toe the line, I could disappear.
I refuse to toe the Earbama one-world line…
White House Hopes Reid Knows What He’s Doing…Mark

Don’t worry, Mark, Reid will be history once he loses his Senate seat to you, or one of the other Republican candidates. Y’all should relax and not fret so much over the Health Care Bill; it’s not good for your well-being.

Yes, you had better watch what you say, keefer, or you will soon be joining all those other folk who have disappeared after bad-mouthing the President, LOL!
By the way, how will that work, you know, with you way over there in North Yorkshire? Will the President issue a extradition order and haul your sorry a** back on U.S. soil where you will be stripped of all your rights, shipped to Gitmo and water-boarded (not torture).
However, considering that the President is a “wimp & appeaser”, fear not, y’all should be safe to continue exercising your right to free speech without fear of disappearing.
No, he’d haul my sorry ass back and ship me to Canada, where I can be really miserable. Ya’all are a bunch of loony wimps up there–can’t even fend for yourselves. Now sod off, ya wanker…

And just what does anything posted here have to do with the thread?
We make a little progress for a while and then regress to infantile and irrelevant name-calling.
The White House comment is a good indicator of how much control they are feeling, as this “health-care” fiasco spins out of control. Their problem is that too many Americans realize it is less about health care than about a massive power grab by the Feds, and they are too smart to fall for it.
And let’s face it, putting faith in the good sense or political savvy of one of the most distrusted and disliked and disrespected members of the Senate (and THAT is saying a lot….) is pretty desperate.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black…….jees
They didn’t finish their statement, neocon. It should’ve finished with, “Because we sure as hell don’t!!!”

LOL
that is 100% correct sad but true.
