Mr Obama certainly is persistent, I'll give him that. He is now proposing a bi-partisan meeting at the white house with Democrats and Republicans on Feb 25th. In an interview on Sunday with Katie Couric he said that he wants the Republicans to bring their ideas to the table. What the heck is this going to accomplish? Oh, I know, it will make him look like he is really trying to be bi-partisan. If this health care bill fails, he can paint a picture of the Republicans as the problem. You've heard the "CYA" acronym before right?
I could be wrong, but the only way that this meeting could possibly work, is if they scrap the monstrous bill being worked on, and start over. The current bill was written by a bunch of Progressive whacko's behind closed doors anyway. Let's start over, summon some real physicians, insurance experts, economists, business owners, rich people, poor people, white people, colored people, Republicans, Democrats and hash out something that will work for everyone. I was being somewhat cynical, but that actually makes sense to me. If I want some house plans drawn up and a house built, I contact an architect and a contractor. I know health care is a difficult issue, but if we want something that will actually make a difference, lets get some people who know what the hell they are doing.
More TV time for Mr. Obama isn't going to work. Empty promises and broken words isn't going to work. I certainly don't promote that I have all the answers either. But right now I feel that the current health care bill is way to radical and continuing to work with it is a mistake.
