Obama: Screw You, America, And Screw Transparency. Let's Ram Through This Bill

The veneer has shattered. Despite pleas from America (and the media) to keep his word, President Obama is calling for House and Senate Democrats to ram through Obamacare in a panicked rush:

President Barack Obama is prodding House and Senate Democrats to get him a final health care bill as soon as possible, encouraging them to bypass the usual negotiations between the two chambers in the interest of speed.

Obama delivered the message at an Oval Office meeting Tuesday evening with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his No. 2, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., joined in by phone.

They agreed that rather than setting up a formal conference committee to resolve differences between health bills passed last year by the House and Senate, the House will work off the Senate's version, amend it and send it back to the Senate for final passage, according to a House leadership aide, speaking on condition of anonymity in order to discuss the private meeting.

Obama himself will take a hands-on role, convening another meeting with congressional leaders at the White House on Wednesday, the aide said.

The aim is to get a final bill to Obama's desk before the State of the Union address sometime in early February.

Nationwide, Democrats are dropping like flies, with two U.S. Senators and governor dropping out of planned re-election bids within the past 24 hours. This is presumably due to a combination of the bullying political tactics of the Democratic leadership for radical and rushed pork-laden expenditures, and the realization that their constituents are sick and tired of unethically-purchased and tyrannical legislation.

The Obama Administration and Democratic Congress have abandoned the concept of "representative" democracy, in that they have no interest in listening to the overwhelming majority of Americans who do not want this bill rushed through recklessly. As we are all painfully aware, health care comprises 20% of our national economy, and any legislation concerning it deserves careful and open deliberation to make sure that it meets the needs of the American people, without it being an undue burden on future generations.

It becomes more apparent with every passing day, however, that the radical leaders of the Democratic Party have no interest in making laws that help the American people. They are only interested in usurping as much power as they can for themselves.

I think the term is "kamikaze legislation". The Democratic party rightly perceives that support is waning for their most cherished Left Wing beliefs and they are attempting to pack the bureaucracy with legislation before they are shown the door. The smarter ones are retiring. Don't be surprised if Chris Dodd retires to someplace warm and sunny that has no extradition treaty with the U.S.

I bet the departing Dems are getting bankster golden parachutes ala Goldman Sachs, etc. They're getting paid to "retire" now so that Dems who aren't clearly part of the establishment that destroyed the USA can then lie, cheat, bully, and steal their way into office - without the smell of the despite Americans have for this awful government.

However, the same mobster banksters would own the new Dems just like they owned Dodd and crew.

We're dealing with literal organized criminals.
