Game On!!!

Be sure to catch a bit of the Health Care Summit on TV Thursday, Feb. 25th, for riveting "bi-partisanship" in action. Think politics is boring? Not this time, folks. Look at the cast and plot. Some Republicans say it's more of a set-up than a summit---that it's a done deal and they are just being invited so that they can be labeled either negative or un-cooperative. Likewise, some Democrats think no matter what, the Republicans will stubbornly not agree to anything other than starting over with a new bill. Harry Reid,Senate Majority Leader,and ready for a fight, says he's going to push the current bill through with or without the Republicans. President Obama is bringing his own bill to the table. And don't forget us--the ironical, not eligible to play, winners or losers of this contentious contest--depending on which side you're rooting for. Game on!! We shall see how much co-operation from both sides occur---not gonna happen probably. But maybe they will surprise us,sit down,and say "what can we do to make this thing work so that we can all feel we've had a part, blended the best of our ideas, made some compromises, put the country ahead of our politics and hammer out a bill that we can all live with ?" wouldn't that be nice--and next to impossible? Hope lives eternal. Whatever happens, it's history---and our future in the making. And we have a front row seat!
