journalism 2009...cnn headline:Source says some Democrats frustrated with health bill
source?????

the source, if you read, is ONE democratic senator...


(CNN) -- As President Obama prepares to address the nation in a primetime news conference, some sources say Democratic grumbling about his plan for health care is growing louder.
One Democratic senator told CNN that some congressional Democrats are "baffled," and another senior Democratic source told CNN that those members are frustrated that that they're not getting more specific direction from him on health care.

"We appreciate the rhetoric and his willingness to ratchet up the pressure but what most Democrats on the Hill are looking for is for the president to weigh in and make decisions on outstanding issues," the senior Democratic congressional source said.

"Instead of sending out his people and saying the president isn't ruling anything out, members would like a little bit of clarity on what he would support -- especially on how to pay for his health reform bill," the source added.

10. Almost always on the same page with Lieberman, but, deceptively sneaks under the radar

as he diverts negative attention to others and while duping many on the left by doubletalking his way through serious issues like healthcare.

7. I don't know... ummm... maybe taxes?
You know, since most of us won't be shelling out an average of $7,000 a year on health insurance companies, we can raise our taxes about $1,200 a year.

I'll take that deal.

12. Because they're worried the mega wealthy might pay for it, so
the corporate media are looking out for their clients' interest.
