WASHINGTON – Senate Democratic leaders on Thursday abandoned plans for a vote on health care before Congress' August recess, dealing a blow to President Barack Obama's ambitious timetable to revamp the nation's $2.4 trillion system of medical care.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., delivered the official pronouncement on what had been expected for weeks, saying, "It's better to have a product based on quality and thoughtfulness rather than try to jam something through."

His words were a near-echo of Republicans who have criticized the rush to act on complex legislation that affects every American. ...

Good news. It looks like Nancy Pelosi didn't have the votes to get it passed.

Good - that will allow time for more people to get laughed at like Russ Carnahan as he tried to explain Obamacare and its savings, and eventually profit that it will generate.

A politicians only purpose is to get reelected, a nice side-effect of which is many (not all - else Bahnee Fwank would have been gone years and years ago) have to make the people they represent happy to meet the reelection goal. Getting laughed at by the people you represent doesn't do the job, so, Democrats are going to throw Obama under his own bus. (hopefully)

The enemy is in retreat.

Pursue and conduct mopping-up operations.

It is time we move past the debacle of Kasserine Pass and push these Hun bastards out.
