VOTE ON SENATE HEALTH PLAN VERSION LOOMS

Unless there is a last-minute change of strategy, the Senate Finance Committee vote on the Baucus Health Care Plan will be held tomorrow.

COMMENTS:
Baucus, a Republican, will join the 12 Democrats on the committee for passage. Expect a 13-10 vote in favor of the Bill. It will then move to the Senate floor. At this writing, I expect it to fail in the Senate by a narrow margin. It will then be up to Harry Reid to decide whether or not to try the “Nuclear Option.”

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I hear that many Republican members of Congress are now ready to vote for the new Government-Run Health Care Plan. Why? (Doris – Burns, OR)
A. Because they know they are not going to get reelected anyway and they owe Pelosi, Reid and Obama political favors.

Q. What are people doing who have run out of unemployment benefits and have exhausted their savings? How are they surviving? (Minnie – Gary, IN)
A. They don’t have house payments anymore because of foreclosure. They don’t have credit card payments anymore because their credit cards have been written off as bad debts. They have clothing that hasn’t worn out yet, so, all they have to worry about is food. Thank God for charities, but Obama is going to close that gap by getting rid of charitable donations as a tax write-off. This is beyond sad; it’s a tragedy of humanity that has been caused for Marxist political reasons.

Q. There has been much joking about Obama being called the “Messiah.” Does he believe that anointment?” (Wes - Manchester, OH)
A. I don’t think so; judging by his track record so far, I believe he sees himself more along the lines of Allah.
