Hope this is so True about the Govt Health bill
WASHINGTON – The glow from a health care triumph faded quickly for President Barack Obama on Sunday as Democrats realized the bill they fought so hard to pass in the House has nowhere to go in the Senate.
Speaking from the Rose Garden about 14 hours after the late Saturday vote, Obama urged senators to be like runners on a relay team and "take the baton and bring this effort to the finish line on behalf of the American people."
The problem is that the Senate won't run with it. The government health insurance plan included in the House bill is unacceptable to a few Democratic moderates who hold the balance of power in the Senate.
If a government plan is part of the deal, "as a matter of conscience, I will not allow this bill to come to a final vote," said Sen. Joe Lieberman, the Connecticut independent whose vote Democrats need to overcome GOP filibusters.
"The House bill is dead on arrival in the Senate," Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said dismissively.
Democrats did not line up to challenge him. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has yet to schedule floor debate and hinted last week that senators may not be able to finish health care this year.
Nonetheless, the House vote provided an important lesson in how to succeed with less-than-perfect party unity, and one that Senate Democrats may be able to adapt. House Democrats overcame their own divisions and broke an impasse that threatened the bill after liberals grudgingly accepted tougher restrictions on abortion funding, as abortion opponents demanded.
In Senate, the stumbling block is the idea of the government competing with private insurers. Liberals may have to swallow hard and accept a deal without a public plan in order to keep the legislation alive. As in the House, the compromise appears to be to the right of the political spectrum.

support our troops
Never forget the sacrafices these brave men and women have made leaving loved ones, the country they love everything to protect us the heart of America!
5 Things we can all do to stop Obama from taking our Freedoms
Things You Can Do To Stop Barack Obama From Taking Your Freedoms.
1. Stay Informed. The conservative sites on the Internet, Fox News and Talk Radio generally tell it like it is. Sadly, CBS, NBC and ABC and most metropolitan newspapers have sold out to the bad guys and can't be trusted. A directory of conservative blogs and newsletters is here http://www.conservativesforum.com/conservatives-directory.htm. Glenn Beck is a particularly excellent source of information http://www.glennbeck.com/.
2. Get Involved. There is strength in numbers. Connect with other like-minded people in your area. Organize. Attend local grassroots rallies and events. You can learn more about the Tea Party movement here http://teapartypatriots.org/.
3. Tell People How You Feel. Don't be shy! Put a bumper sticker on your car. You could also get some of our Obama satirical money and hand it out to friends, neighbors and people you meet. Jokes are powerful political weapons because a joke can't be spun!
4. Bug your Congressman. Once is not nearly enough – call, email, and write...continually! For their contact info, go to: http://www.congress.org/congressorg/directory/congdir.tt. Remember, politicians, above all else, want to be reelected. Let them know they won't be if they allow Obama to bankrupt the country and take away the freedoms for which countless Americans have fought and died.
5. Spread The Word! Email these suggestions to everyone you know!
Let's take our country back!
