From Obama tonight:
'DEFICIT WILL GROW. MORE FAMILIES WILL GO BANKRUPT. MORE BUSINESSES WILL CLOSE'...
SYSTEM 'AT BREAKING POINT'...
'TIME FOR GAMES HAS PASSED'...
hahaha! Nothing like scaring people with scare tactics.
President Obama on Wednesday urged liberal Democrats to consider alternatives to a government-run health insurance plan, even as he re-stated his support for the idea.
"It's worth noting that a strong majority of Americans still favor a public insurance option of the sort I've proposed tonight." ... really??
"The time for bickering is over. The time for games has passed. Now is the season for action," Obama said. "Now is when we must bring the best ideas of both parties together ... Now is the time to deliver on health care."
Children!! The time for bickering is over! Go to your rooms and think about health care!
"We've seen Washington at its best and at its worst. We have seen many in this chamber work tirelessly for the better part of this year to offer thoughtful ideas about how to achieve reform," Obama said. "But what we have also seen in these last months is the same partisan spectacle that only hardens the disdain many Americans have toward their own government. Instead of honest debate, we've seen scare tactics. Some have dug into unyielding ideological camps that offer no hope of compromise."
Barack, I don't think scolding Congress (and implicitly the American people) helps you sell your ideas.
