Obamacare Summit: Rumble or Snoozefest?
— Dave in Texas

The bully pulpit has become digital "Punch and Judy" theatrics.

Odd that a leader who considers himself a persuasive orator would resort to surrounding himself with stage props, lights, and the cover of his Democratic colleagues whose infighting and outright fear have stalled the very centerpiece of his agenda.

So the opening salvos have been fired at insurance companies by team Obama, to soften the beachhead, while they simultaneously offer pretense at readiness to listen to "alternatives".

The White House offered an olive branch to wary Republicans, saying the healthcare plan Obama released on Monday was not the last word on the issue and promising to work to find common ground at the televised summit.

"It is important to understand that this proposal isn't meant to be the final say on the legislation," Nancy-Ann DeParle, director of the White House Office of Health Reform, said in an e-mail.

But Republicans, who have demanded Democrats scrap the bills and start over, criticized Obama for signaling he would consider ramming the bill through Congress using a procedure that would bypass the need for Republican support.

I mentioned last week I'd just as soon the Republicans in Congress had told Obama to stuff his summit, there's nothing here to negotiate. The problem I have with their move on this is the underlying premise that requires them to cede ground (Americans want "some" kind of healthcare reform).

I'm also concerned about ace's thoughts that faced with severe electoral pain either way, Democrats will simply choose to pull the bandage off hard and move on because it's in their best interests to put this behind them by passing a bill and taking the hit now.

Well, they're in. All I can hope for at this point is that Republicans recognize they have overwhelming public support to spit this thing back at O and stiffen their spines further. I say that with some appreciation that they have been spitting it back already.

On a side note it would go a long way toward pulling me back into the R fold. Not that I strayed far. I just would like to know we're moving in the right direction. I'm really just talking about opening my checkbook again.

The game is afoot. Or a toe. A big toe.

5 Canada rules Up 4-1 over the Russian Menace.

On a more idiotic note, TPM has the Dem talking poitns for tomorrow so they say.  Idiotic poll tested phrases, of course:

The Democrats are eager to wrap up health care and are closely coordinating with the White House on the summit agenda. A Senate leadership aide told TPMDC the Democrats' strategy is to "leave much of the heavy lifting to the president" because he has proven to be "very skilled" in similar situations.

"[W]e're confident that we have a strong hand to play and we're going to strike a tone of compromise and willingness to sit down and listen and negotiate while pressing forward to get health care done as quickly as possible," the aide said.

TPMDC obtained the Democratic talking points for tomorrow's summit. The talking points praise health care reform, saying that it:

* Makes insurance more affordable

* Makes the health insurance market competitive

* Makes insurance companies accountable

* Reduces the deficit

* Will end insurance company abuses



Aren't numbers 3 and 5 the same?


idiots.

Either way, it's a good thing that the world is ending in 2 years. Because if it's not, we're all going to be put down like Ernest Borgnine in Solylent Green.

16 5 Canada rules Up 4-1 over the Russian Menace.

As a fan of the Detroit Red Wings, it's win/win for us. We have current/past guys on both teams, so it doesn't really matter.

However.... Canada assumes they're going to win because it's the only thing they have in their country. So I guess I kind of want the Russian Menace to crush them, just to reduce the tree hugging uber liberal Cauncks to simpering idiots.

25 Been thinking this for a while: This is what O's going to do - He'll do the TV dog and pony show, get the Republicans to put a half dozen ideas on the table, tell his folks to adopt two of them, then challenge the Republicans to join up because it's a "bipartisan bill" that includes their suggestions.  All he needs to do is pick off one or two of them.  He'll add luke-warm tort reform or some sort of interstate sales to get his bill.  You watch.

The Kos kiddies are pushing to use reconciliation so that the Public Option can be added back.  For support they refer to polls taken last summer and fall showing 60% - 70% in favor of the PO.

Under Kos kids' logic, the mandate to purchase insurance from an "evil for-profit" insurance company is unconstitutional.  However, a mandate magically becomes constitutionally acceptable if, in conjuncttion with the mandate, there is a Public Option (good), tied to Medicare rates (better), Medicare for all at age 55 (better +), or pure single payer (best)

Just so long as the HC bill moves to kill the health insurance industry.

88 All discussions should have plenty of numbers,  statistics,  and as much medical terminology as the docs can get into the discussion.

Obama starts stammering and making ridiculous statements whenever he has to talk about this type of stuff.

Also,  when the Republicans get to talk they should KEEP ON TALKING.   Obama is going to try to monopolize the time like he does in press conferences with his 10-minute answers.   As soon as they get the floor,  KEEP TALKING.  Pay not attention to buzzers.  Politely but firmly maintain that you need to finish your point.

166 so a friend who is into natural foods and such, doesn't take any medication that isn't natural, like herbs and things is saying that McCain is co sponsoring a bill with Doregan which will somehow limit "supplements" and herbal remedies.  She is livid.  She says her doctor will now have to prescribe stuff like euthanasia.  She claims "big pharma" is behind the bill and that McCain is sponsoring the bill cause apparently there are steroids in natural things and athletes are taking this natural stuff in big doses to get the steroids.  She said she heard him interviewed about his bill and then called him and told him to read his own bill.   But between the laws about farming your own land and the laws about garage sales, is there anything we will be able to do freely?

It was dead (for the 11th time) but you just had to attend the 12th zombification ritual and lend a hand breathing even more life into this fetid corpse, so that it can wreak more havoc on our institutions and threaten our nation.

Sheesh.
