CA Rep Introducing New Legislation to add “Robust Public Option” March, 22, 2010 — nicedeb Even as I speak, Bernard Goldberg is on The O’Reilly Factor decrying the “hard right’s” “hysteria” about the Obamacare bill and Obama’s designs on the country. I like Bernie Goldberg, but he clearly is behind the learning curve, (as is O’Reilly) on what the country got itself into when it elected Obama. The Obamacare bill, after the public option was removed in order to get it through the Senate, was designed to be a “foot in the door” to single payer. I’m only surprised that this Dem Socialist couldn’t even wait until the bill was signed before she introduced this: A leader of the House liberals’ caucus said Monday she’ll introduce new legislation to revive the public option. Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-Calif.), the co-chairwoman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, said she plans to unveil legislation to add the government-run option to the national healthcare exchange established by legislation President Barack Obama is to sign tomorrow. “We will introduce a robust public option bill on the very day the president signs the reconciliation bill into law,” Woolsey said Monday during an interview on MSNBC. The public insurance option had been a part of the healthcare legislation first approved by the House in November, but Senate Democratic leaders were forced to abandon the provision after it became clear that they wouldn’t be able to get all 60 Democrats (at the time) to sign onto legislation containing that provision. On the one hand, since Scott brown was elected to the Senate, this should be impossible to pass. But then, the Dems feel emboldened now, and they know their days are numbered. nicedeb.wordpress.com In that post by Bill Whittle I just posted he said: They know that this Health Care fiasco will cost them the House and now perhaps the Senate in November, but that new Congress will not seat until January and in the ten months between now and then they will, I predict, start an orgy of legislation that will make this Health Care circus look like a tea party. Looks like the orgy is starting.

We know most ADULTS are angry about this, and we know the reasons why, but watch the children (by children, I mean the over 18 kind) and listen to what they are saying about this "historical" event. "Historical"...........pleck........Pearl Harbor was historical. Erecting the Berlin Wall was historical. The Cuban Missile Crisis was historical. 9/11 was historical. They all tried to destroy democracy. Everywhere I have looked this morning the reaction seems to be more or less the same: a nation of steely-eyed missile men.
