So the President thinks the GOP is killing the reform. Sad that he's so out of touch that he can't see that it's the American people who want this abomination stopped.

The truth is that the Democrats don't need the GOP to pass the legislation. They have a majority in both houses that is sufficient to stop a filibuster and pass the measure tomorrow. The reason that they don't do that is because they know that the American people won't be happy about it and that they will pay dearly come 2010 and 2012. They want Republicans to vote for it so that they can say it was bipartisan and spread the heat around just like the President likes to spread the wealth around.

If the President is so sure that his plan is best then let him and his party go for it. If they are right, they'll be heroes. If they are wrong--and I am sure they are absolutely wrong--they can and should pay the price.

And if the Republicans join them then we can vote them out, too. The way I see it, it's an equal opportunity thing. Take our freedom and we take your jobs.

So go ahead, Mr. President. Get your party together and do it on your own. You don't need the GOP to pass the legislation so quit trying to blame them.

And that's the truth.
