At a big DNC fundraiser last night, Pres. Obama made the case for “the bill you least like in Congress.” Support it now. Get on board. Pass the bill you least like in Congress. I mean, really. It seems Pres. Obama doesn’t understand how this majority thing works at all.
[...] … As he did earlier in the night at a separate DNC fundraiser, the president pointed a finger to Democrats and Republicans for their role in health care reform. He called on Democrats to be united as they “keep their eye on the prize” in health care reform, and that when they get a bill they have to do “everything they can” to support it.
“Sometimes Democrats can be their own worst enemies. Democrats are an opinionated bunch. You know the other side, they just kind of do what they’re told. Democrats, ya’ll thinkin’ for yourselves. I like that in you, but it’s time for us to make sure that we finish the job here, we are this close and we’ve got to be unified.”
… [...]“Understand that the bill you least like in Congress right now, the one you least like of the five that are out there, would provide 29 million Americans out there — 29 million Americans who don’t have it right now would get it. The bill you least like would prevent insurance companies from barring you from getting health insurance because of pre-existing conditions. Whatever the bill you least like would set up an exchange so that people right now who are having to try to bargain for health insurance on their own are suddenly part of a pool of millions that forces insurance companies to compete for their business and give them better deals and lower rates.”
So, my fellow Americans. Ask not for the best bill the Democratic majority can craft, just keep your eye on the prize and do everything you can for… the bill you least like in Congress.
‘Cuz Obama says.
