Desperate Obama Hits the Road for Health Care – Again
ByI’m not sure what he’s expecting to gain at this point.

But that’s not going to deter him. He’s off to Philadelphia today, and then on to St. Louis on Wednesday to push his health care agenda.
AP: In private pitches to Democrats, President Barack Obama says he will persuade Congress to pass his health care overhaul even if it kills him and even if he has to ask deeply distrustful lawmakers to trust him on a promise the White House doesn’t have the power to keep.
That, in a sometimes darkly joking way, is what the president is telling Democratic House members as he begins an all-out push to coax Congress into passing his proposals despite voters’ misgivings and Republicans’ dire warnings.
“He made the case, ‘Listen, we put in a very hard year working on health care reform and the time for action is now,’” said Rep. Ron Kind, D-Wis., one of several Democrats who met with Obama at the White House on Thursday.
Obama joked that the political battle has contributed to the recent rise in his cholesterol, Kind said, and the president noted how ironic it would be if health care drove him to his grave.
But Obama is anything but sickly these days, making health care pitches Monday in Philadelphia and Wednesday in St. Louis, and instructing aides to address every question or concern Democratic lawmakers possibly can raise.
Someone needs to tell the president that desperation is extremely unbecoming.

check out the latest on this Democrat Massa who was going to resign today. Seems Rahm was attacking him in the shower stall because he does not agree with the all mighty Obama.
We are seeing Desperation from these loonbags.
This is what happens when a “community organizer” that hasn’t so much as run a cash register nevermind a business, who never had an executive position to test his leadership skills, who has surrounded himself with “like minded” idealogues, has to actually govern. He HAS to fall back on what he does well and that’s talking, theorizing, imposing his will without confronting debate or opposition, “rabble rousing”, and campaigning. That’s his “happy place.” Sarah Palin, who owned and runs a business, governed a town and a state, confronted opposition head-on, and knows what it’s like to spend your own hard earned money instead of everyone else’s money, was the first to point out what we might expect from a “community organizer”. She was SO right.
