This is a blog post from DailyKos.com which is a VERY leftist blog. They call themselves Kossacks and if you review their logo it appears to mimic the old Soviet Union communist propaganda art. Remember communism seeks to create an egalitarian society by taking wealth from others to give it to people who didn’t work or earn it and basically turning the entire country into slave labor with no opportunity.

Please follow the thread to see the “rock and the hard place” that President Obama is experiencing with several different factions in the democratic party, labor and left wing organizations that are for and against health care reform. President Obama has pandered to the left, unions and has helped to pay them back in the stimulus bill and even bailing out their pension plans in HR3200.

AFL-CIO: No Public Option, No Support

This is what it sounds like when someone representing the Democratic wing of the Party speaks:

Democratic lawmakers will not be able to count on the AFL-CIO’s support if they drop the public insurance option from the health care reform legislation, union officials said Tuesday.

The AFL-CIO’s incoming president, Richard Trumka, outlined “three absolute musts” in any overhaul package: a public option, an employer mandate and no tax on employer-provided health benefits.

Asked if the union would work against any bill that did not hit those targets, Trumka told reporters during a *briefing: “That means we won’t support the bill if it doesn’t have the public option.”

Please note I cannot find independent verification of *a briefing: Ric

And as Trumka declared last month during a speech to the Sheet Metal Workers International Association:

We need to send them a special message: it’s that you may have forgotten what the labor movement did to get you elected; but, by God, we never will! And if you stab us in the back on health care this year don’t you dare ask us for our support next year!

And the Max Baucus/Blue Dog wing of the Party needs to remember that — and that 2010 is just around the corner.

Overview of what the “left” believes is the next move for Obama.

Report: President to reveal health care deal-breakers

By Jed Lewison

Marc Ambinder delivers a report that has the feel of a trial balloon:

This time, the President is going to be specific. Next week, President Obama is going to give Democrats a health care plan they can begin to sell.

He plans to list specific goals that any health insurance reform plan that arrives at his desk must achieve, according to Democratic strategists familiar with the plan.

Strikingly, despite the tough “deal-breaker” language, there still seems to be a ton of wiggle room on the public option:

He will insist upon a mechanism to cut costs and increase competition among insurance companies — and perhaps will even specify a percentage rate — and he will say that his preferred mechanism remains a government-subsidized public health insurance option, but he will remain agnostic about whether the plan must include a robust public option. Officials won’t say whether the president intends to endorse a specific “trigger” mechanism if the competition mechanism fails, but they say he will make it clear that the final bill must contain language that increases competition.

Purely in political terms, if the White House’s goal is to generate enthusiasm in the Democratic base, that sort of approach won’t cut it. If they want to excite the base — and as Kos showed earlier, they need to — then they will need to come out more strongly for a public option, because it is the only mechanism that anybody has proposed that will meet his stated objectives.

Update (4:50, by Jed) — Remember that this sounds like a trial balloon, and it’s not coming from named sources. Nothing is written in stone. President Obama hasn’t said anything yet. If you don’t like what you’re hearing, the best thing to do is to let your voice be heard, whether at public events, phone calls to your senators and representatives, or whatever works best for you. Without your active involvement, AHIP could still win this thing.

Make a difference on Friday 9-11 and make the call. Your Representatives need to hear from you. They will be hearing from those who wish to take our freedom of choice, jobs and livelihood.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney will endorse Sen. John McCain as the Republican nominee for president, CNN reported Thursday. Romney, who had hotly sparred with McCain in debates before bowing out of the race, will formally announce his endorsement in Boston at 3:30 p.m. Eastern, CNN said. Romney suspended his campaign Feb. 7 after losing multiple states to McCain in the “Super Tuesday” contests.

Ric Joyner Opinion

WOW this is interesting development, especially because of the “bad” blood developed between them during the campaign. It is time for the Huckaboom to fizzle out and go pop. We need the resources and energy to fire up the conservative base, and not hand this election to the most LIBERAL Senator…nicknamed here…the “power mouth”, and or to Hillary the “Bill Clinton Shadow”. Neither one has experience in government…only McCain has the history, and background to lead, plus the fiscal backbone to stop Democrat and Republican spending. He reminds me of Moe from the three Stooges…poking his fingers into the eyes of republicans… (DOINK)… by crossing the aisle to work with Democrats.

And the conservative call on Ronald Reagan (their hero) to rise from the dead, and refocus McCain into a Reagan conservative. Come on…we can’t keep looking back to Reagan… we must look forward. Voters are tired of the back and forth attacks and working together is a great thing. Jeez can we have some common sense please?

I think Hillary would be easier for McCain to run against, but she shot herself in the foot by having Bill perform his antics….rewind to the Bill Clinton era….fingernails on the blackboard….semen on dresses…and victimization of the Clinton’s, and remember the shriek? “It is a right wing conspiracy”. I shudder just thinking about those two! We had a glimpse down the rabbit hole when Bill was out campaigning for Hillary!

Having a Republican President with a democratic congress is ideal…creates gridlock so not much gets done. The slower government works the better.

McCain is about substance and quality…versus party line….THANK GOD! Now that is common sense!
