Pelosi's emergency meeting.

A push for the ‘robust’ public option...

As the article states, "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is scrambling to push back the notion she lacks the votes for a “robust” public option."

Pelosi is determined to instate a Public Option at all costs, even if the rest of her party does not support her. "Pelosi had a difficult time admitting that her caucus was not prepared to accept a "robust public option" in the Democratic bill." THEN, Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, a Democrat from S.C. said, “We are still in the process of determining which public option suits the majority of our caucus.” "Pelosi said unequivocally, however, that 'at the end of the day we will have a public option in our legislation.'"

PUSH, PUSH, PUSH... Squeeze as hard as you can. Eventually, I am sure someone is weak enough to give in. *cough* (Olympia Jean Snowe McKernan) *cough* However, I thought you was not SUPPOSED to be able to draw blood from a turnip. I guess in politics, it is totally possible? Looks like it.

Ponder this a while. Remember, when you vote for "change," realize what you are supporting, endorsing, and putting your name on the line for. "Change" has been a platform used repetitively, and a ever popular campaign slogan for a couple hundred years, just looking at in the United States.
