Yahoo News: Reports on President Obama's remarks that health care reform might be dead in the water. The Obama White House at the end of the day is a political operation, they need to keep the House and Senate in the 2010 Mid Term Elections, they don't need after the Mass vote to spend political capitol on defending a health care bill that has no support in the country. If the Democrats push the Bill through using the nuclear option of 51 votes in the Senate the Republicans can run on one slogan, repeal of the Obama Health Care Act, the Act is poison, all the benefits come later and the harsh stuff is up front, tax hikes and the obligation that Americans buy health insurance. The Oval does not want to defend that for eight months. Thus as stated before on this blog, health care reform is dead for this year, at its most political basic it is about keeping the Hill Democratic.
