WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama scored two major endorsements for his health overhaul push Thursday and trumpeted the news as House Democratic leaders pushed toward a vote Saturday on far-reaching legislation remaking the U.S. health care system.

"I am extraordinarily pleased and grateful to learn that the AARP and the American Medical Association are both supporting the health insurance reform bill that will soon come up to vote in the House of Representatives," Obama said in an unannounced visit to the White House briefing room.

Too little too late. Everyone's on to you Barry. You may be able to fool a few idiots left out there, but the vast majority knows what your ulterior motives are now and you're just about at the end of your rope. No pun intended. LOL

They're just trying to get something, ANYTHING voted on before the holiday recess and subsequent election season. Once the New Year arrives, and the elections heat up in earnest, the bill is dead.

After seeing how he began the press conference regarding the Ft. Hood tragedy, I am now convinced that his ultimate goal is to destroy this country by any means necessary. Time to start talking impeachment.

Everyone is on to the AARP too...throwing their constituency, not to mention all dues paying members, under the bus so they can make billions in a supplemental insurance racket agreed to with Obama's gang.

funny part is if we win and the bill dies you know that will say that the evil repups blocked care for all! They will spin the media and deny that gop every offered other plans - though we have seen every alternative dismissed by the dems out right!

They can't blame us, they have a super-majority. If they can't get it done, they'll own it!
