As reported by the AP, Obama spoke at a DNC fundraiser and talked about health care. The article is discouraging to say the least. What irks me the most is that Obama wants to work with Republicans and at the same time wants to get this done fast. That's an oxymoron. The Republicans want to delay this all the way to the election, and they want to neuter the bill anyways.
"And it may be that ... if Congress decides we're not going to do it, even after all the facts are laid out, all the options are clear, then the American people can make a judgment as to whether this Congress has done the right thing for them or not," the president said. "And that's how democracy works. There will be elections coming up and they'll be able to make a determination and register their concerns one way or the other during election time."
not doing HCR is NOT AN OPTION.
