Brief recap of HRC summit so far
Posted: Feb 25, 2010
Insurance reform is bad. Oops, health care reform.
There is lots in this bill with which Republicans agree. Can we agree denying coverage for pre-existing conditions, which is in the House Republican bill, are bad?
We need to start from scratch. And insurance reform is bad.
Insurance companies only want to insure healthy people. Can we agree sick people need insurance?
We need to start from scratch. Insurance reform is big government.
Lifetime annual caps are bad. It's in the House Republican bill. So, we agree on that, right?
We need to start from scratch. Throw it all out!
Republican: Insurance reform is bad. Oops, health care reform.
Dem/Obama: There is lots in this bill with which Republicans agree. Can we agree denying coverage for pre-existing conditions, which is in the House Republican bill, are bad?
R: We need to start from scratch. And insurance reform is bad.
D: Insurance companies only want to insure healthy people. Can we agree sick people need insurance?
R: We need to start from scratch. Insurance reform is big government.
D: Lifetime annual caps are bad. It's in the House Republican bill. So, we agree on that, right?
R: We need to start from scratch. Throw it all out!
I'll keep watching, but we all know it's just going to be more of the same. The Republicans want to start over not because they disagree with everything in the bill but because they do not want it to succeed because it started with Obama and the dems.
I'll bet a month's pay that once the bill goes into effect, the republicans fall all over themselves taking credit for it.

[ In Reply To ..]dems saying "we think" or"we want" and pubs saying "the American people are saying" or "the American people want."
Lies/misrepresentations don't count - NJ
[ In Reply To ..]Look at the Pew poll that include the public option. It tells a very different story. That option was fought tooth and nail by the republicans but it is possibly the most strongly supported aspect of reform.
Another interesting note is that only 32% of those polled knew the Senate bill passed without any republicans voting for it, not a single one. It seems the public is sadly uninformed on this very important reform.

Right's Response To SummitFeb 26, 2010
The talking point distributed on Fox was that the summit was "boring." It is a major flaw, I guess, of this presidency that Obama does not make his meetings on crucial legislation interesting enough to entertain the opposition. Awwww. In other words - look away - the right came off badly and Obama's directness, honesty and tendency to point out political posturing triumphed again. ...

By Daniel TencerWednesday, April 14th, 2010 -- 3:09 pm For the second time in the past few months, conservative commentators see something sinister in an Obama administration logo. Following a controversy in February over what some said was a "Muslim crescent" in the logo of the US Missile Defense Agency, some commentators are saying they see the same thing in the thin, white crescent that borders the logo of President Barack Obama's Nuclear Security Summit.
