Fox News: Reports that the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi has stated she does not have the votes to pass the Senate version of health care reform. This would be the best gift to President Obama, he could then talk to Republicans and get a scaled back version of health care reform passed, this reform would have Republican votes but would also cost less, it would be a victory, more that Bill Clinton managed in the first two years of his term. The new bill would prevent insurance companies from saying No to people will pre - existing conditions, they could not set limits on the costs of medical cover, these reforms have the backing of a majority of Americans. Then the Obama White House should stress jobs, jobs and jobs for the next nine months, Obama needs to keep the House and Senate Democratic.

Obama and Health Care Reform
The New York Times: An interesting editorial by the liberal New York Times, in its hubris view the vote in Mass was not a "..national referendum on health care reform — even though it has upended the effort to pass a reform bill,....". If the vote in Mass was not a referendum on health care reform how come that is the main casualty is health care reform, the Editorial board of the liberal NYT needs to smell the coffee, the above is a contradiction. Even the Oval has seen the light at know wants a health care reform agreement that takes in Republican votes. The problem is you know have a bill that is a orphan in political terms, the Senate does not want it back, the House does not want to vote on it, the members even Liberals see the light. Thus it is like when you dump a boyfriend or girlfriend, you can dump them and never speak to them again, and you don’t have to say why, if they seek answers they are stalkers. In the case of health care reform the stalkers are the elite media, they will not allow the Democrats to bin in their view a great bill without a lot of public shame, thus an orphan bill that everyone wants to dump but they are in the glare of the press. Those Olympic Gods are good when they see hubris in the Oval.
Rahm Emmauel - Political BLOOD in the WATER ?
The Nation: The Bible for Liberals if they believed in God points the finger at the Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emmauel for the present Obama mess over health care reform , the article states the following, "......the guy who made the private deals and told the senators what they could accept, he failed big-time and should be replaced. ". The Liberals in the party have never been happy with Mr Emmauel, they see him as to much of a political animal, in other words he can see the real world, thus they wanted Obama to be more left wing; how left he can get is beyond me!; thus they have started to point the finger at Rahm Emmauel, how long does he have as Chief of Staff, a few months, its a new ball game, you need someone that Republicans don't dislike, a real deal maker, Mr Emmauel to much of a political animal in his own right, there are rumours that he might run for Mayor of Chicago, that would be a way for him to make a graceful exit of the White House.
Obama favours SMALL scale version of Health Care Reform - ABC News
Fox News: Reports on a ABC News interview by President Obama, the President stated he was open to a scale down version of health care reform that got some Republican support. What the Obama White House does not need is a for the House to pass the Senate version of health care reform, the Obama team are not saying NO but they really don't need that kind of back pain, if the House passes a Bill that has no support and is loathed in Mass, the House and Senate members will have to defend it, that would be a disaster for the Democrats, the Republicans would have a simple message, repeal the Obama health care reform, thus Obama and the Democrats would be stuck with a Bill that could take them down faster than the Titanic went down in the Atlantic. This is the time for POTUS to manage the House, tell them to start to from scratch and for Liberals to shut up.
Health Care Reform - USA
CBS: Reports on the health care reform options that now faced by the Democrats, one option is a scale down version of health care that gets some Republican support, on other hand some Liberals still want the House to pass the Senate version of health care reform with no changes thus it can become law. If Liberals push this through the House after the Mass vote they are committing political suicide, they will face a political tsunami in November, the Republicans will hang this hated measure around the heads of Democrats, the House and Senate could be in play. This is time for Obama to take charge, tell the Liberals that the time has passed and go for a modest health care reform, there is always a next time in politics.
