HARRY REID: "He talked about CBO saying that there would be $54 billion saved each year if we put caps on medical malpractice and put some restrictions — tort reform — $54 billion. Sounds like a lot of money, doesnt it, Mr. President? The answer is yes. But remember, were talking about $2 trillion, $54 billion compared to $2 trillion. You can do the math. We can all do the math. Its a very small percent."

What's $2 trillion to a guy who'll be out of a job next year?

Couldn't happen to anyone more deserving. I wish Pelosi would be joining him.

Not exactly a scientific observation, but this thread was the last to mention health care reform and had almost drifted to page 2 which is usually the death of a thread.
Forget about it is exactly what the BHO folks want us to do. The public is falling for all the distractions, some may be legit, but most are just distractions. They are winning again.

Good point, MD, healthcare looks to be the line in the sand, maybe cap n trade too.

The way it looks to me, the WH thinks there's only a few more checkers on a checkerboard game ending in 2010. Fox News is one, the NRA, small business, seniors, and not much else that I can see...well, maybe the Supreme Court. The clocks ticking. It'll also be interesting to see if Lincoln, Landrieu, Snow etc. sell everybody out on the healthcare part.

I think Fox News was just one of the recent distractions. A brilliant move on the part of BHO and Co.. They knew the very people who oppose health care reform would be up in arms about potential censorship.
