Senator: Democrats 'baffled' by president's health care stance

WASHINGTON (CNN) – As the prospects for passing health reform by the time Congress leaves for its August recess look bleaker, Democratic grumbling about President Obama is growing louder. One Democratic senator tells CNN congressional Democrats are “baffled,” and another senior Democratic source tells CNN members of the president’s own party are still “frustrated” that they’re not getting more specific direction from him on health care. “We appreciate the rhetoric and his willingness to ratchet up the pressure but what most Democrats on the Hill are looking for is for the president to weigh in and make decisions on outstanding issues. Instead of sending out his people and saying the president isn’t ruling anything out, members would like a little bit of clarity on what he would support – especially on how to pay for his health reform bill,” a senior Democratic congressional source tells CNN. The Democratic leadership had hoped the work going on behind closed doors for months could bear fruit in time for the president’s news conference Wednesday night. But multiple Democratic sources tell CNN that’s looking very unlikely, and one senior Democratic source tells CNN there is some frustration among Democratic leaders that Senate negotiators have, "repeatedly missed deadlines."

One quick question for Obama that they are not going to ask:

Mr. President, if the provisions of health care reform do not go into place until 2013, why the rush to get this passed by August 2009?" 


Lets see one of these dick sucking metrosexual punks in the media ask that question.

who started the sarah palin baby rumors you bought into hook line and sinker? how about the national enquirer story about her cheating on her husband that you touted as truth?

National Enquirer is a solid source when a Republican is getting slandered.

so you're changing the subject then?

I want to know who the 2 quotes are attributed to.  if you want to talk about something from 10 months ago, start another thread.

Unless you are calling 33's quotes just as baseless as the rumors were.  Are you?

just curious as to what the differences between the two situations for you? you seem to buy into those palin rumors without any reserve but this you need a credible source for, whats changed?

I guess one time in their entire history of being a mindless tabloid they would have to get one thing right...

well the tourist pic of palin at the airport in seattle, 12 hours after her water broke looking skinny, hot, and smiling were enough to convince me.

plus the erratic removal of all pics from the alaska website on a sunday.

plus her silly timeline of that day, if you recall.  A woman has her 5th kid's water break at 5 am, and waits 18 hours and 2 plane rides to give birth?  Um, shit doesnt work like that.  Kid #5 slides out of there.

So yeah, it's one of those things that obama didn't run with because a crying palin admitting the lie would have won her a shitload of sympathy.  Pluys, i felt bad, because she did what she had to do for her family, which I kinda respect.  So I let that issue go, even though many alaska newspapers are sure they have proof it was a lie.  I guess we'll find out someday, who knows.  One of those funny things about history.
