While this is a noble idea on the part of Obama, it will not work. Why would the Republicans participate in a public debate, which they know they will lose? They are a party of bitching, moaning, and backstabbing after all.

Why would the Republicans participate in a healthcare conference where obama has said he likes both the house and the senate bills...these bills have already been turned down by the public. obama has no desire to take into consideration the thoughts of the Republicans...he only wants to blame them for not going along with his hc plan. They are smart to stay away from this meeting...John Q. Public stands with the Repubs.

Obama should work for Barnum and Baily after he leaves office he would make a good clown.This idea is a political stunt and that is all it is.Why would any one want to save this train wreck of a bill.

should bring to light, some companies like blue cross ,who profited $2.9 billion for the last quarter of 2009 , now announce it's raising insured premiums another 40% with no justification. Inflation rate for that the entire countruy averaged in 2009 was 2.6%.

Great Expectations

Let's be honest for a minute, America. I know a lot of you had stars in your eyes last January when Barack Obama was inaugurated amid promises of "change we can believe in", closing down evil Guantanamo Bay, bringing the troops home from Iraq and all the other idealistic promises he made so he could get elected.

He also promised to fix the economy and let us know in no uncertain terms that he had inherited a real fiscal mess that would take trillions of federal dollars to fix, and after trillions of dollars things have only gotten worse.

It seems like that's been the mantra of the Obama Administration ever since they took office, the excuse for most of their problems is that George Bush left such a mess that Obama just can't seem to find anything to do about it except to borrow and spend more money.

I wonder what the media would have said if after 9/11 George Bush would have stood up and told the world that due to the Clinton Administration refusing to take custody of Osama bin Laden when he was offered three times or that he refused to let American operatives take him out when they had a chance, the ramifications of 9/11 were out of his control.

No matter what you might have thought about Bush's presidency he was not a crybaby, he didn't blame his shortcomings on anybody but himself.

His administration immediately pursued Islamic terrorists to the ends of the earth, capturing and killing them, disrupting their plans and rolling up their networks and in so doing kept America safe for the remaining seven years of his administration.

Now let me ask you a question. Do you expect Obama and his milksop Justice Department to keep America safe for the remaining three years of the his administration?

Three of our top counter terrorist experts have basically told us that, in their opinion, an attack is imminent.

To give terrorist murderers the same rights as American citizens, read them Miranda rights and give them civil trials is so totally insane that Eric Holder should be put in a room with rubber walls.

In fact where is the feckless Mr. Holder these days, maybe the same place Al Gore is, riding out the worst winter on record for a number of years, global warming notwithstanding.

Congress just raised the debt ceiling to over fourteen trillion dollars and it is expected to spend up to the limit this month.

Another question, do you think there will be a person in the United States of America in the next three generations who will not feel the lash of Obama's reckless fiscal policies?

In typical Obama style, instead of using the bailout money the banks and financial institutions have paid back to reduce the national debt, he plans on spending it on another ill-fated government program.

Eventually, just the interest on this debt is going to eat up the lion's share of our GDP, inflation is going to go into high double digits and the dollar is going to fall like a rock.

Obama talks about fiscal responsibility but continues to spend every cent he can beg, borrow or steal from your grandchildren.

There are two choices; put on the brakes immediately, freeze all government spending with the exception of national defense, cut taxes to get businesses going again and elect some responsible people.

You don't even want to think about the other one.

What do you think?

Pray for our troops, and for our country.

God Bless America

The republicans don't want to reform healthcare.

They want the status quo

They are not concerned with America's problems or people.

They just don't want Obama to score any political points.

He needs to forget about the republicans and pass a f^%king BILL!!!!!

No, they won't. Instead, they will go on Fox News to bitch about it. That is their style.

Finally exposing the GOP, again (Grotesque Obstructionist Party) for what they are..It's excellent that he's calling them out and making them actually expose themselves in the light of day for what they are--corporate shills

During that last Q&A I think I saw just a glint in Obama's eye that said to the viewing audience "you see what I have to put up with?"

He kicked serious political ass in the last event. It's the gop caucus that wants the rematch since they got their asses handed to them on a silver platter.

I hope this time they're %100 percent prepared. Not because I want to see either side win, but because I want to see some constructive discussion..So they can stop crying about not being heard..

It will be productive only in the sense that the American people will be able to clearly see the Republicans obstructing the process. They will be able to hear the discussion on both sides for themselves and make up their minds on the facts and not the spin.

Well, those of us who are SANE will be able to see it, but there are a ton of people out there who willfully and deliberately remain ignorant and proclaim themselves right no matter how often they are proven wrong. I wish it were different, but it isn't. (Sigh.)

A glimmer of the "transparency" that he campaigned on?

The electorate has seen thru Pelosi/Obama, it's clear that what they really want is a government takeover of the health care industry. He and Nancy have a long way to go to win back the trust of Americans other than their dwindling die-hard liberal supporters.

To be a meaningful change to Washington as usual, they need to toss what they've cooked up so far and address/fix the problems with health care, AND they need to pen a bill that passes on its merits, not by virtue of having sweetheart deals for various states.

Having our bungling government run the nation's health care system is an idea that needs to die. Somehow, I don't see that happening.

He wants the Republicans to share in the blame of not getting a healthcare bill passed. There is no bill that the Republicans can help to sponsor that will ever pass in the House.

Republicans aren't interested in overhauling healthcare. They like the system just the way it is. After all, those without healthcare in this country aren't likely to vote Republican anyway. How else to explain why healthcare never gets any attention when Republicans are in charge? How many times did Bush address the lack of healthcare for millions of Americans during his two terms?
