NY Times:
With no clear path forward on major health care legislation, Democratic leaders in Congress effectively slammed the brakes on President Obama’s top domestic priority on Tuesday, saying they no longer felt pressure to move quickly on a health bill after eight months of setting deadlines and missing them.

I can’t wait to hear the truth:
Three men suspected of trying to tamper with phones at Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu’s office have been released from a suburban New Orleans jail.
Among them was James O’Keefe, a conservative activist who posed as a pimp to target the community-organizing group ACORN. O’Keefe said “veritas,” the Latin word for truth, as he left...

What a weird turn of events:
According to the FBI affidavit, Flanagan and Basel entered the federal building at 500 Poydras Street about 11 a.m. Monday, dressed as telephone company employees, wearing jeans, fluorescent green vests, tool belts, and hard hats. When they arrived at Landrieu’s 10th floor office, O’Keefe was already in the office...
Sorry to get wonky on you...

We AREN’T going to know because they aren’t letting us know. They are NOT being “transparent” as THEY promised to be. If you deny that all of this is a bunch of backroom dealings designed to keep us all in the dark until THEY get whatever it is THEY want then you seriously need to take off the blinders, Joe.

A contrary view:
Pelosi’s claims are going to sound awful to those who want the House to pass the Senate bill already. But let’s be as clear as possible: Pelosi did not rule this option out.
The key is that Pelosi said the bill can’t pass the House “at this time” or “right now.” What’s more, this doesn’t address another possibility being studied by House leaders right now: Passing the Senate...

Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she lacks the votes to push the Senate’s sweeping health overhaul bill through the House, a potentially devastating blow to President Barack Obama’s signature issue.
The California Democrat made the comment to reporters Thursday after House Democrats held a closed-door meeting at which participants vented frustration with the massive version of the legislation.

Agreed. If the Democrats can’t show some fucking balls and pass health care reform, then they deserve to lose the House and the Senate.
