I have a better idea: Punt.

Nebraska (thanks to sellout Ben Nelson) is excempted from paying additional MediCaid expenses brought on by the Senate Health Care bill. All other 49 states will be forced to pay for new Medi Caid entitlements. Now how the hell is that fair? Equal Protection, no? Federal Law can now apply to only some states? Now how is that constitutional?
And here, I've been lauding Nelson's efforts. What a joke. Total sellout.
The real math; $2.5 Trillion. Harry Reid and the Dems are again, lying directly to the our faces. Unreal.
From China, President Barack Obama tells CNN's Ed Henry that after "procedural hurdles" in the legislation of health care reform, "I remain confident that we're going to get this done... I'm absolutely confident."
As far as why he hasn't been like LBJ, Obama says: "LBJ didn't have the Congressional Budget Office."
Obama also fields a question from a disgruntled Obama supporter regarding the bank bailout. "I understand people's frustrations... The American people have gone through a very tough year," and as President, he's committed to help "navigate" Americans, especially those who lost their jobs. "I'd be mad, too."
Senator Joseph Lieberman (I)- CT says that if the Senate Health Care Bill includes a Public Option, he will support a Republican filibuster to prevent a final vote. Way to go, Joe.
President Obama made a trip to capitol hill to meet with House Democrats on the day the chamber is set to vote on Healthcare reform legislation.
This must be stopped! Obama/Pelosi are detrimental to our Liberty!
Remember when the ObamaCare legislation was supposed to be passed by the August recess?
More setbacks for Team Obama and the Democrat Congress.
Bachmann asks for patriots to call Congress and meet up with her at the Capitol next Thursday at High Noon. Time to mobilize!
This is it; we are at the crossroads. Please, I beg all of you, if you can to rally upon DC and STOP this madness! STOP the insanity! STOP Barack Obama! STOP Nancy Pelosi!
Say No To Socialism!!!!!! You cannot force Americans to buy something against their will!!!!!

White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel engages in a spirited disucssion with John King on "State of the Union" about health care reform, saying it's about "the four C's: control costs, expand coverage, give people choice, and competition in the system." He guarantees it will bring down the deficit. Regarding the economic crisis: "I think the American people have a right to be frustrated and angry," he tells King.
King asked Emanuel why a labor leader called one possible reform proposal "a slap in the face" from President Obama. "That's his position," he argues.
Emanuel also explained why health care talks are not "transparent," i.e. behind closed doors. King accused him of filibustering that question.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell says Senate Republicans want a real multi-week Senate debate that gives everyone on both sides an opportunity to freely amend the health care legislation.
