Chris, some members of the Democrat Hard LEFT like Rhode Island Senator Sheldon Whitehouse have become unhinged over Obamacare. I mean comments like the following are just unbalanced and they were made on the floor of the United States Senate:

“Voting ‘no’ and hiding from the vote are the same result. Those of us on the floor see it. It was clear the three of them who did not cast their yes votes until all 60 Senate votes had been tallied and it was clear that the result was a foregone conclusion. And why? Why all this discord and discourtesy, all this unprecedented destructive action? All to break the momentum of our new young president.

They are desperate to break this president. They have ardent supporters who are nearly hysterical at the very election of President Barack Obama. The birthers, the fanatics, the people running around in right-wing militia and Aryan support groups, it is unbearable to them that President Barack Obama should exist. That is one powerful reason. It is not the only one.”

But, name calling and Saul Alinksy tactics are NOT working as evidenced by the latest polls. The Democrats have to craft a bill in Conference Committee which will make all of their desperate party elements happy. This will not be an easy job.

In the meantime, the American voters will become even more acquainted with the tax increasing, budget busting details of Obamacare.

And, just in, the White House is now telling the press that due to January’s crowded congressional calendar, Obamacare talks will move into February past President Obama’s State of the Union address.

Stay tuned…….

Chris, President Obama and the Congressional Democrats have quite the record to run on in the 2010 Congressional midterm elections. And, George W. Bush will NOT be there to kick around anymore.

The American economy has NOT faired well under Obama. Voters continue to worry if their job is the next to be lost. They are NOT worried about redistributing health care to someone else while watching their taxes go up.

As @lesliecarbone said recently on Twitter: The Democrats ramming Obamacare though the Congress is a Christmas present for the GOP.

Indeed it is and the Democrats will be punished next November. The Obamacare votes and machinations of the past few weeks will ALL be reversed.

Should President Obama NOT be able to persuade his Democrat Party colleagues in the Senate regarding Obamacare, he may be changing his own shorts. Obamacare has changed as the Democrats in the Congress have failed to achieve a consensus as to what health care reform REALLY is.

President Barack Obama will meet with Senate Democrats at the White House Tuesday to press for action at a make-or-break moment for his health care overhaul.

All 60 members of the Democratic caucus have been invited, according to three Democratic officials. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the announcement was not yet public.

The meeting comes as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid works to round up votes to get a sweeping health bill passed before Christmas. The outcome is uncertain with moderates in danger of defecting on issues including abortion and a proposed expansion of Medicare.

The latest proposal ot hit the skids is the Medicare Buy-in Provision.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is prepared to give in to demands from centrists in order to pass the healthcare legislation before Christmas, senators say.

Reid indicated at a closed-door Democratic Conference meeting on Monday that he would drop a controversial Medicare buy-in provision, which was offered as a replacement to the government-run health insurance option, to win the votes of Sens. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Ben Nelson (D-Neb.).

The public option was eliminated last week.

What really is left? Portability? Increasing medicaid?

And, your grade now, Mr. President?
