Differing opinions abound about what the Health Care Summit accomplished. And, more importantly, what it didn't. I came away from viewing most of the back and forth between Obama, Republican leaders, and Democrat leaders thinking that the Republicans FINALLY were able to get their message across - loud and clear - to the American people. It appears that David Gergen agrees with my assessment:

How gratifying it is to learn that others see yesterday's "dog and pony" show as a huge mistake for Obama and his progressive cronies!
What's even more damaging to the debate is that Obama & cohorts will most likely choose to use the reconciliation method of ramming through ObamaSCARE HELLcare with only 51 votes in the Senate. This is an even bigger indication that the progressives are deliberately tone-deaf to what the majority of Americans DON'T WANT!
GOOD! Let them all die and bury themselves in their own political graves! They will be voted out of office soon enough. And, since the HELLcare benefits would not even start until 4 or 5 years down the road, I am hopeful that this disastrous bill could be repealed when the Conservative adults take over Washington D.C. in both 2010 and 2012.
The American people HAVE HAD ENOUGH of the terrible and obstinate ways of Obama's progressive Marxism!
What's more, Obama ruined any sense of bipartisanship when he lectured Republicans (and took WAY too much time from the forum attendees) after almost every one of their well thought out objections to HELLcare. The fact that when Rep. Cantor brought the mammoth paged HELLcare bill to the event - it irritated Obama - makes Barack seem quite childish.

How much more controlling can this idiot Obama get?
I wanted to be able to write:
"Today, for the first time in my adult life I am proud of Obama."
But I can't write that...and mean it! Why? Because Obama himself RUINED any chance of being bipartisan towards the Republicans. As I had feared (and many others felt the same way), Obama was trying to use the forum to persuade some Republicans - any Republican - to vote for the HELLcare bill. Then, he could claim - see? This is a bipartisan bill!
I REALLY hope that the Summit had the opposite effect on some of the DEMOCRAT leaders who were considering voting "yes" for the nuclear option . I hope that they now see how destructive it would be to their careers. I hope that they now see how many people IN THEIR OWN PARTY don't want this government takeover of health care!
