President Obama plans combative turn

 Obama plans to get combative

President Barack Obama plans a combative response if,as White House aides fear,Democrats lose Tuesday’s special Senate election in Massachusetts,close advisers say.

“This is not a moment that causes the president or anybody who works for him to express any doubt,” a senior administration official said. “It more reinforces the conviction to fight hard.”

A defeat by Martha Coakley for the seat held by the late Edward M. Kennedy would be embarrassing for the party — and potentially debilitating,since Democrats will lose their filibuster-proof,60-vote hold on the Senate.

A potential casualty:the health care bill that was to be the crowning achievement of the president’s first year in office.

The health care backdrop has given the White House a strong incentive to strike a defiant posture,at least rhetorically,in response to what would be an undeniable embarrassment for the president and his party.

  • We have never seen a president wage war on the Congress to coerce them to vote a certain way. This is America afterall. We have witnessed a real change in the way representatives are bribed into doing what "OOO"is demanding. This is unconstitutional. This is tyrannical. The DEMS have shown their real color. Even the blue dogs succumbed and voted against what the American people were demanding. They all need to be voted out for not listening to us,We The People.

    IMPEACH OBAMA IN 2010,before we completely loose this Republic to this tyrant.

    Obama plans to move ahead with his policies,despite losing Massachusetts Obama's ideology trumps everything. Look for the three stooges,OBAMA,REID and PELOSI to push their socialist progressive agenda. Pelosi said:WE WILL HAVE A HEALTHCARE BILL. I have never given to a political party before and with millions of concerned Americans,I gave twice to Browns campaign. I am an Independent so it doesn't matter what side of the floor the "RIGHT"message comes from. The vast majority of Americans want the politicians to work for us. Any politician with a PROGRESSIVE or SOCIALIST view,needs to be stopped. Regular Americans are needed to step up and stop this agenda. It's easy to see the checks and balance of our country are not working with the Democrats drunk with power. You can see where they want to take this great nation. If we can win in Massachusetts,we can win everywhere.

    Obama needs to move way to the right and drop his progressive agenda completely. He will only be inviting absolute disaster if he arrogantly presses forward on the health care bill. Obama has squandered all of his political capital in trying to pass Obamacare. Face facts Obama,your'e a loser,time to start listening to polls like Clinton did after 94'.
