"Obama is going to fall back position?"

[RememberWellstone]

Just heard on Faux news that the President is going into "fall back" position on healthcare?

Maybe it's not a bad thing? Re-group and live to fight another day?:shrug:

[SemiCharmedQuark]

1. What does that even mean? And why should anyone believe Fox News?

[RememberWellstone]

12. He cited AP news report

I have no idea..and I am newz surfing today! MSNBC was on commercial.

[SIMPLYB1980]

2. FAUX news.

[johnaries]

3. Yeah, in his speech today he'll announce he's giving up.

4. Gotta love DUers.

[Cant trust em]

5. We are a funny bunch. nt

6. Not sure why you'd post about ANYTHING said on Faux concerning Obama.

Aren't you aware there's a concerted effort - based on lies - pushing to defeat what Obama's trying to do?

Or maybe you want him to fail too.

7. Fox News: Rupurt Murdoch: Terrific Dancer...JFK Posthumously Joins Repubilcan Party...

[Avalux]

19. "You guys are wound up?"

You bet your ass. This is important to some of us; apparently not to you.

[Thrill]

8. Faux is the last place that would have any inside info on Obama's plans

9. WTF are they saying is his "fall back position"?

and, to echo some of the other posters here, why would you even contemplate the possibility of Fox News being truthful and/or accurate (much less fair and balanced) about ANYTHING, particularly when it relates to Obama or Democrats???

There's NO need IMHO to regroup and "live to fight another day". The GOP, and their corporate media whore allies, are in full out panic mode right now and trying to throw any s**t they can at Obama and/or make the public believe somehow that Health Care Reform is floundering. I've been kind of stunned at the ferocity and speed at which they are doing it right now but ultimately, they have NO interest in nor concern about the welfare of the American public and are doing what they are doing to make health care reform, as Senator Jim DeMint put, Obama's "Waterloo" never mind the fact that Obama actually seems to be making some progress with some of the "Blue Dogs" (i.e. Baucus), so, at least at the moment, rumors of Obama's demise (and the demise of healthcare reform) seem woefully premature IMHO.

Are you really so willing and eager to throw in the towel already? I don't think anybody here thinks that this was going to be easy and there's not much agreement around here that the plans put forward so far are what most of us want but we all agree that SOMETHING needs to be done and soon.

The Repukes, along with some traitorous Dems, helped kill reform back in 1993-1994, but the problems with the system have greatly worsened since them, many more people are now uninsured, and the Repukes, when they had control of the WH AND Congress for SIX YEARS did NOTHING to address the problems in the system let alone propose any reforms. Heck, they didn't even try to do anything during the last SIX YEARS of the Clinton Administration even though he probably would've tried to work with them had they really been interested and genuinely bipartisan about it. Of course, we know how the last six years of the Clinton Administration actually turned out. :eyes:

10. I have no idea

Hence, I ask.

He cited an AP news report, MSNBC was on commercial..I am newz surfing today!:evilgrin:

[BlooInBloo]

11. Don't let it get to you. DUers just want to bitch about Obama. They're happy to join with fox news..

to do it. It's just the way it is.

[RememberWellstone]

14. Oh for fuk sakes

It's just a news blip...I am channel surfing, it's not like you don't watch Faux either.:eyes:

We need to quit being afraid of the lies of the rethugs...we're getting scared of our own shadows lately. We won, remember?

[BlooInBloo]

15. Please don't tell me what I watch on teevee.

Thanks.

16. good .. this will increase the anticipation ( and the ratings) for his primetime

and ofcourse Obama will pull a pair of aces ..

[qazplm]

17. I have no doubt that there is a fallback position

he'd be dumb not to have one.

But there is no way he is going to it until it is clear that he simply cannot pass health care reform he wants, and that wont be clear until at least mid to late August, if not later.

[WI_DEM]

18. Yep, Faux News is the best source.

[backscatter712]

20. This is FUX News we're talking about.

Why, the people on TV would never lie...

[Clear Blue Sky]

21. Fight another day is wishful thinking.

This will be harder to push through if the economy worsens and as it gets closer to midterm elections.
