Fox News is reporting that President Obama ended the health care summit by threatening to pass a health care reform bill without Republican support. BHO said, “If we’re unable to resolve differences over health care, we will need to move ahead on decisions,” alluding to using reconciliation, a controversial maneuver that prevents a GOP filibuster by requiring only 51 votes. How much did that summit cost tax payers?
But what’s more interesting was his follow up comment. Obama added that if voters are unhappy with the results, then “that’s what elections are for.”
Did the President just dare the American public to vote him and other supporters of the health care bill out of office? Neither the Congress or the President has an approval rating anywhere near 50%. Be careful what you ask for…you just might get it.
