    Yes. Obama only wants the House to pass the Senate Bill so he can sign it. All of the reconciliation crap means nothing to him. Either way, he has a bill and can crow about his place in history, doing something no other president has been able to do. THAT is his motivation.

    And, my response had more to say than that.

    Wow. Yes, that too.

    Too bad though. We could have nipped Global Warming in the bud.

    And how do you know this, Karnak?

    I only challenged your preposterous comments.

    It's just a feeling I have based upon my observations over the past year and having a mind unencumbered by copious doses of Kool-Aid.

    Amazing. You can observe what someone is thinking. If you can bottle that, I can sell it.

    I understand your comments. I also get the impression he's more concerned with his "legacy" than with helping America. Most presidents start this in their final year in office but he seems to be there already.

    Maybe he thinks this is the beginning of the end of his presidency. At the rate he's going, he's probably correct.

    Regardless of what happens this has been a black eye for the administration in the way they've handled this issue. The good news for America is this should lead to considerable turnover in Congress. Considering this is the WORST in our history, I don't think it could get much worse.

    I can't imagine many people would think we'll make any positive "change" with Pelosi and Reid in charge. (unless you're an idiot)

    Evidence? What gives you this impression? Remember that this was a campaign promise that he got elected on.
