Obama Tells Dems to Pass Health Bill Quickly,Cut Out GOP in Conference

By ERICA WERNER,AP

So much for a new era of bipartisanship

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.

      I` ll be damned if Obama is going to deny care to my 82 yr old mother who has paid taxes,SS and into medicare and let her die..just so some black-ass gang banger who has never contributed and got shot up get`s care. This is what it is about..control and pay back to white people. Poor poor black folks who never worked a honest days work ..so let`s take it from the white folks. I am so angy I could just spit and don`t know what has happened to sane people!!

    IMO O's in a hurry to get the health care bill all wrapped up so he can move on to his next big hurdle,amnesty! If he thinks the health care bill's been tough he ain't seen nuthin'yet! I've already started my stepped up efforts to let my senators and congress woman know exactly where our state stands on the issue of amnesty. And I hope everybody out there is doing the same. It was a tough fight last time but I have a strong feeling it's going to be a lot tougher this time. Far too many of our elected officials are pro-illegal. We have to fight and fight hard against amnesty. WE MUST NOT LET IT HAPPEN!
