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."

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.

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.
