DEMS DROP “DEEM” STRATEGY

Facing intense public pressure and a legal opinion that their strategy would not get past the Supreme Court, the House dropped its tactics to avoid voting on the Health Care Policy and to vote only on a measure to “deem” the Senate version as being passed. The stage is now set for the House to vote on three bills Sunday, (1) to bring the “fix it” bill out of Committee and on to the floor for a vote, (2) voting on the “fix it” bill, and (3) voting on the Senate bill.

COMMENTS:

If I understand this process correctly, the Senate bill if passed would go to the President to be signed into law and the “fix it” bill would go to the Senate for consideration and action; if passed without change, it would then go to the President for signing, but the Senate could choose to vote it down or to let it sit without any action at all, or the President could veto it, in any which case the current Senate-passed version of the Health Care Plan will be the law of the land.

The fact that they chose to drop the “deem” plan tells me that the public pressure has been overwhelming. Neither Obama nor Pelosi are inclined to back down for any reason. The Dems have been saying they don’t need the “deem” anyway, since they have enough votes to pass without it. Nevertheless, the President made a trip to the Hill to campaign against the “no’s” and ask for passage, which leads me to believe it’s not a done deal. If it does pass, it will be a direct confrontation with the majority of the voters who are against it and an admission by the Democratic Party that they don’t give a damn about what the citizens of this country want.

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:

Q. What happened with the Tea Party in Washington yesterday? I heard there were some bad remarks? (Kerry ~ Boca Raton, FL)
A. A few black members of the House claimed that Tea Party protesters called them the “N” word when they were walking to the Capitol to vote. While I personally think that Obama’s lousy attitude toward American rights as the first Black President will set the black rights movement back 100 years, I have to say that the use of the “N” word, if it actually happened, is way out of line, inflammatory, and not useful.

Q. When will all of the sex scandals in the Catholic Church ever end? (Maurice ~ Santa Clara, CA)
A. I believe that the breakdown of values, morals and ethics in all segments of our societal leadership is directly leading to what is going on in Washington right now; in fact, we are losing all respect for any authority and, when that happens, you get anarchy.

Q. What’s with the racial flap at a Wal-Mart store? (Darnette ~ San Carlos, CA)
A. Last Sunday, a teenager got on the P.A. system at a Wal-Mart in Washington Township, NJ and announced, "Attention, Wal-Mart customers: All black people, leave the store now." A manager quickly apologized for the remark over the intercom, but local blacks are quite angry. Wal-Mart is placing the microphones away from public access.
