Why am I so goddamn nervous?

[Arkana]

It's 2 1/2 hours before the President speaks and I'm actually nervous about it. Why?

Seriously, I have the same jitters that I had the day of his election.

1. this will make or break him amongst many dems in his base is why

hes already been damned disappointing to a lot of people on a lot of issues he has either backpedalled on, or out and out ignored when it comes to campaign promises. He backs off public option, the good kind, and goes again with the DLC, and a lot of people in his base will consider this the final straw.

2. Everybody is.....it's a huge huge moment in our lives

I almost feel nauseous (like election day)
But I'm really worried that we're to be let down somehow. I don't want to believe he lied to us.

3. Cause you need a drink. Here, let me pour you one and drink it for you

Feel better?

Probably because it is D-Day on health care.

4. Well settle down

[KarenS]

5. I'm nervous too,,,,,

I do not want to be disappointed. I want to clap & cheer.

(and yes it's like Election Day for me as well)

6. Because after tonight we will know...

If he will allow a non-reform health care reform bill to pass, thus tossing his base under the bus, assuring a serious primary challenge, or "dance with the one who brung him" and act like a Democrat. A lot is at stake.

8. hmmmmmmm

will we actually know? or will it be just more of IT COULD BE THIS, IF IT IS NOT THAT kind of stuff

[MNDemNY]

10. Yea, probably more obfuscation.

[monmouth]

7. I am too. Don't know whether to watch TV or read the threads...n/t

[kid a]

9. why would you ever not watch for yourself and trust the batshit crazy thread train here?

[MNDemNY]

11. Cus'DU threads are the one and only truth.

[monmouth]

15. This reminds me of a kid of mine at recital. I really didn't want to

be there for fear of the missteps but knew I had to be... It's a conundrum...LOL.

12. Because you know what will happen and you know what that means.

With no effective EPA, industry pollution (water, air, food, even toys) will make us sicker and sicker and the cost of medical treatment will cost us more and more. Fewer jobs means there's less in everyone's paycheck to cover other rising costs.

We will become North Korea in the blink of an eye.

[Arkana]

13. Wait...what?

[valerief]

14. The healthcare "reform" will be a sweetheart deal for the insurance companies with nothing in it

to effectively help us, the consumer. That's salt on America's gaping wound.
