Achievements of Reid and Pelosi in Health Care Reform Bills

The "unprecedented" achievement of Reid and Pelosi is the amount of bribery, pork,extortion and threats that were used to get the versions of ObamaCare passed in the House and Senate. If this is the mark of great congressional leaders then Pelosi and Reid deserve the title.


They ignored public opinion, carved out so many sweetheart deals, and threatened to withhold federal funds so that eventually all Senate Democrats folded. They carefully counted votes in the bag in the House to allow certain Democrats to appear to be against the bill in districts where reelection would be the most problem for those voting for the bill.

Obama violated so many of his promises in getting this far in the health care bill process that it's almost impossible to keep count: "not a dime of increased taxes on those making below $250,000", "no more earmarks", "bipartisanship","transparency","posting bills for the public to read for 5 days before a vote", "able to keep your own doctor", "no impact on Medicare", "will reduce health care costs" and on and on.

THIS IS ORGANIZED CRIME AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. Those that have gotten deals this time around are just as likely to be thrown under the bus next time around if they are not needed. That is the nature of the "Chicago Way".

THIS IS WHAT EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE EXPECTED FROM OBAMA AND HIS APPOINTEES AND A CONGRESS DOMINATED BY PELOSI AND REID.
