Day By Day November 8, 2009 – Afterlife
But, the fact is San Fran Nan may have killed the Obama Presidency and her own Democrat majority in Congress.
The issue of public funding for abortion via the Stupak amendment for health care reform is NOT over and simply moves over to the U.S. Senate and any conference committee.
With ONLY one Republican voting for Obamacare in the House and NO GOP Senators (including a few Democrat Senators like Joe Lieberman) favoring this House version with a public option, the President may have to resort to the nuclear option of “reconciliation” in order for this legislation to pass. These kind of strong arm tactics and lack of bipartisanship WILL be used against Obama and his party in 2010 and 2012.
President Obama and Nancy Pelosi may have won the battle but lost the war.
