"We Have a Tire Track On Our Chest": President Obama Faces Possible Rebellion

The president's liberal allies on health care reform have a message for the president: Don't think you can drop the public option without a fight.

"If the president thinks we're gonna get the votes without the public option, he's got another think coming," Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-NY, told ABC News. "That won't pass the House."

Over the weekend, the President seemed to change his tone on whether a final health care reform bill had to include a public option -- something that just two months ago, he indicated was a deal-breaker. ..."Some of us who have gotten roughed up pretty good at town hall meetings and stuck in there because we believe in this, now kind of feel like we have a tire track on our chest where the bus that rolled over us is," Weiner said. ...

So now we know how it feels to be thrown under the bus.  :rotf:

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

That whole idea was either "floated" just to test reaction, maybe get some of the Town Hall Protests to back down a bit,  or Siebilus wasn't supposed to say it.  Obama is backing off now.

Guess what, there is nothing in the House Bills that mentions "Co-Op".  They would have to go back to Committee and re-write entire Bills... and no telling what they would slip in at 3 AM.

Amendments on the floor of the House?  Oh please please please.  the Republicans can tie it up for weeks then.
