Abortion
Fox News: Reports that the issue of abortion could destroy Obama's health care reform bill, Conservative Democrats are threatening to sink the Bill if the Government is allowed to pay for abortion. It is an irony that abortion is the one issue that this blog supports the policy of Government funding, but it would be ironic if it was Conservative Democrats that bring down the Obama Administration, lets be clear if Obama loses HCR he is finished on the Hill. The Mid Terms Elections are coming up, if Obama fails on HCR the Democrats on the Hill will block most of the Obama Agenda. Of course if Obama does pass HCR the Oval might find in early November that it has lost the House and the Obama Agenda is dead on the Hill. Either way HCR will make Obama a one term President. Got to love the symmetry.
18/3/2010 = HCR Vote
The White House Press Secretary has stated that Oval expects to get health care reform through the House of Representatives by the 18 March 2010. Lets see if the liberal leadership in the House has the votes and if Obama has the LBJ touch in Congress.
Close Call - Health Care Reform
Fox News: Reports how moderate and conservative Democrats are still worried about the political costs of Obama's health care reform. As stated in my posts this is the time for POTUS to show if he is another LBJ or Carter, so far in pure political terms one can argue that it is 60/40 that the Bill will passed. The Weekly Standard reports that Obama is giving out sweets to House members, a Judgeship for a vote, well that is the impression from news reports, lets see what other bribes the Oval gives out to House members. Those that are leaving and voted NO first time could find a nice cushy job in the Obama Administration if they change their votes. Or those that face defeat in the Mid Terms could also get cushy jobs in the Obama Administration if they change their vote from NO to Yes. I don't have a problem with these political bribes, that is politics 101, it is when it costs three hundred million or other bribes that this blog gets annoyed. Thus one has to say that in pure political terms Obama is more LBJ than Carter. Lets see how it plays out.
