Blue dogs reach deal

"Congressmen will have plenty of time to read the bill, Obama insisted. Noting that Congress won't finish deliberating the legislation until after its August recess, Obama said he'd be willing to invite any representative or senator over to the White House to review the bill "line by line.""

I think someone should take him up on that... :)
 
dems are going to pass this without repubs. My hope is that it's watered down and not that the usual buyoffs took place. LOL all blue dogs states just got rich

/sneaky grin........why are they keeping the bill at the White House?......it would be easier for Congress to read it if they let them have a copy over in the Capital......

I'm sure Tutu & meme will be along any second now to recant their rush to judgment that Obama was "breaking a promise" by not giving legislators a chance to read through the bill...

some conservatives just can't admit when they are wrong, I don't know about meme, but Tutu chokes on the words, I was mistaken.

A plan without the public option is a plan not worth passing.

Hopefully it's a non-watered down bill, for our children's sake.

There will be no public option.

What America will get is watered-down healthcare tweaking, but not reform.

.. taking bets.

I dont really know those two very well, so this is not in defense of them... but Obama is doing everything he can to push this bill as fast as possible. There is little chance that ANYONE has read this entire bill at this point. I am glad Congress didn't adhere to the ridiculous deadline Obama put forth. Now everyone has a month to read through it all as they go on vacation.
 
If it doesn't include the public option, Obama should veto it.

And fuck you SMY, you ignorant twat. I hope you die of a preventable illness, you self-hating lump of shit.

Mike Coffman should go over and hang out for a few days reading it line by line with Obama. No need for our "beloved" Senators, who were ready to rubber-stamp whatever came out so long as it spent money and had the name Obama attached to it with a sticky note, to do anything at all. Mike could invite me. I'd report faithfully all I saw. Transcribe tapes, everything.

I still don't know much about Bennett, but what I have learned has certainly not impressed me much. Udall is exactly what I expected him to be.

I would love to see Coffman call Obama on his suggestion. Lets see, 1000 pages, countless line items.... should only take a few hours a day for the next couple of weeks to go through. Then when Coffman is done, someone else can have their turn going over it in detail.
