He will be trying what got him elected.
Hey folks,
What got Obama elected? "Hope and Change." His ability to give a GREAT speech and say nothing at the same time. His ability to rev up a crowd and energize people into believing that he is standing up for them. His ability to make people believe in the "Dream."
During the Election, Obama showed us just how good he is at showmanship. He could and still can, get the masses to believe that he is sincere and that he cares about what he is saying. He makes people FEEL like they are part of the solution and that they are important to him.
The problem though, as is WELL documented, you need a playbook to keep up with what he says Why? Because it changes on a daily bases. It all depends on who he is talking to at the time. Just ask the Gay community. Just ask the anti-War crowd. Just ask the independents that took the chance and Voted for the guy. A growing number of people on all sides of the Political Spectrum are starting to doubt, not only if he was sincere, but if he can deliver on all the things he said. Some are even starting to see him for what he truly is.
But those that are pushing Obamacare, are HOPING that there is still a little magic left in the old Obama Speech giving ability. This time, to trick enough people into accepting Obamacare. To get enough people to believe that it is something that it is not.
According to the AP - Obama may get more specific about health overhaul By CHARLES BABINGTON, Associated Press Writer Charles Babington, Associated Press Writer – 47 mins ago
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama has talked a lot about health care lately, but some allies say he has been too vague. Now he's thinking of throwing more details and personal weight into the debate, which polls indicate Republicans have been winning in recent weeks.
Faced with falling approval ratings and increasingly impatient with Senate negotiations, Obama is considering a speech in the next week or so in which he would be "more prescriptive" about what he feels Congress must include in a health bill, top adviser David Axelrod said Tuesday in an interview.
The speech might occur before the Sept. 15 deadline the White House gave Senate negotiators to seek a bipartisan bill, Axelrod said. He suggested that two key Republicans have not bargained in good faith.
Translation, those that they THOUGHT were bought off, are now starting to waver.
Congress reconvenes next Tuesday after an August recess in which critics of Obama's health proposals dominated many public forums.
Some Obama allies feel he gave too much leeway to Congress, where one bill has passed three House committees, another has passed a Senate committee and a third has been bogged down in protracted negotiations in the Senate Finance Committee.
Axelrod indicated that Obama would not offer new proposals but would be more specific about his top priorities.
"The ideas are all there on the table," Axelrod said. "Now we are in a new phase, and it's time to pull the strands of these together."
Translation again "We need to start to change the language to attempt to get you people out there to believe that it is NOT what it is. We will call it something else, and call certain provisions something else, to attempt to trick you into believing that it is NOT what those that read these things told you it is."
He said there is serious discussion in the White House of Obama "giving a speech that lays out in specific ways what he thinks" about the essential elements of a health care bill.
In other words, hope he can rev up the crowds and get them to accept it just because Obama delivers a great speech. Look for a personal story or two, Bush blaming, and him to attempt to make YOU feel important. You can be part of history, ETC.
Axelrod said it was possible that the speech could occur before a planned Sept. 15 Obama address on health care in Pittsburgh.
Obama has called for innovations such as a public health insurance plan to compete with private insurers, but he has not insisted on it. It was not clear Tuesday the degree to which he might press for various proposals in a new speech.
Obama also plans to meet with Democratic congressional leaders when lawmakers reconvene next week.
Axelrod condemned recent comments by two chief Senate Republican negotiators — Charles Grassley of Iowa and Mike Enzi of Wyoming — who have sharply criticized key elements of Democrats' health care plans even as they insisted that a workable bipartisan plan was possible.
Their remarks, Axelrod said, "were not exactly consistent with good-faith negotiations."
{Laughing} Because they told you the TRUTH. Remember, I told you about them. Proponent For Obamacare Now Opponent What they are upset about is this.
Delivering the Republicans' weekly radio and Internet address, Enzi said any health care legislation must lower medical costs for Americans without increasing deficits and the national debt.
"The bills introduced by congressional Democrats fail to meet these standards," he said.
He also said this.
"I heard a lot of frustration and anger as I traveled across my home state this last few weeks," said Enzi, who has been targeted by critics for seeking to negotiate on legislation. "People in Wyoming and across the country are anxious about what Washington has in mind. This is big. This is personal. This is one of the most important debates of our lifetime."
But that is not suppose to happen. The PEOPLE are suppose to just lay down and accept whatever Obama and Crew want to do. Back to the AP
In an August fundraising letter, Grassley asked people for "support in helping me defeat Obama-care." He said Democratic-drafted bills would be "a pathway to a government takeover of the health care system."
REALLY? Good.
Enzi, in a radio address Saturday, said Democratic proposals would restrict medical choices and make the country's "finances sicker without saving you money."
The two men are part of a six-senator, bipartisan negotiating team that also includes GOP Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine. Hopes for a workable bipartisan plan have dimmed in recent weeks, and Axelrod's comments were the most dismissive yet from a White House official.
Dismissive, arrogant, whatever. Normal Liberal playbook.
Congress' August recess was brutal for Obama and his allies, as lawmakers faced raucous crowds denouncing Democrats' health proposals. When Congress comes back Tuesday, Democratic leaders hope to change the dynamic by holding quiet, closed-door sessions with nervous colleagues and arguing that far-reaching health care changes can be good politics as well as good policy.
{Laughing} Closed door, back room, deal cutting, meetings. "You will do this or else. Forget the people. WE can give you this or that. WE are in control, and YOU will know your role and Vote for this."
They also hope GOP-led opposition has peaked. But that's far from clear, and Republicans are eager to hand Obama his first major defeat.
IT'S NOT REPUBLICANS! I grow so tired of saying this. It is CLEAR, that MOST Americans, regardless of age, Race, Creed, or Political Affiliation, are AGAINST this. People from ALL walks of life are showing up for the Townhalls. Sorry guys, you can not demonize the Republicans on this one. NOBODY wants this. Well, accept for some brainwashed Sheeple and the Kooks.
A new CNN/Opinion Research poll found that 53 percent of Americans disapproved of Obama's handling of health care, while 44 percent approved. In March, far more people had approved than disapproved.
Liberal groups have held hundreds of events in a bid to show that a robust overhaul is more popular than August's news reports would suggest.
Staging shows will NOT change the FACTS.
The message lawmakers will hear when they return to Washington "will be very different than what they heard when August started," said Jacki Schechner of Health Care for America Now. One idea her group will stress, she said, is that the politically smart vote, even in toss-up districts, will support widespread changes meant to expand health insurance coverage and options.
Nervous Democratic lawmakers need to be told, "You got elected to do something," she said. "And you might get re-elected if you actually do something."
With Obamacare, YOU WON'T GET RE-ELECTED. They KNOW this. That is their problem.
Republicans approach Labor Day feeling upbeat about the ground they gained during the August recess. Some are confident that no amount of closed-door hand-holding of nervous Democratic lawmakers will reverse the momentum.
"After a disastrous month at home, the fact that Democrats' new health care strategy is to hide in Washington from the people who elected them to get health care passed shows what bad shape they're in," said Antonia Ferrier, spokeswoman for House Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio.
ABSOLUTELY Right! Well said as well. Folks, do not let up. The LWL {Left Wing Loons} can threaten, promise, or SAY whatever they want to those on the Fence for Voting for Obamacare. However, it is STILL YOU that has the final say next Election on who stays and who goes.

Truthfully, I would not be all that surprised if they actually find a way to postpone this until AFTER the 2010 election to see what happens. If they do, and they stay in power, then this will all but be guaranteed to pass no matter what the feelings on the matter are at that time. We must stop this for good. We must KILL Obamacare, before Obamacare can start killing us. Literally.

Obama got elected as most politicians do on promises of a free lunch. We all vote our pocket books, well enough do to get the crooks that now occupy D.C.
TANSTAAFL
Yeah.
This time around it was both Ignorance and Greed, that got this Crew in. Still to this day, SOME that actually Voted for Obama and Crew are still waiting for him to pay off their Mortgage, buy them a new car, and give them a big paycheck after he steals the money from the Rich.
Pretty sad. But it is the truth. As I keep saying Ignorance and Election HAVE consequences.
