Guaranteed Healthcare

Preach it  President Obama.

At a town hall meeting on health care at Virginia High School, a 95-year-old voter gave Senator Obama our beloved Democratic nominee a maple walking stick.

Obama thanked the man, who’d carved the stick himself, and then, admiring his gift, said, “If members of Congress don’t pass my health care plan, I’ll whup them, I’ll whup them. That’s right, don’t mess with me, I’ll have my stick.”

Newsday is reporting that Obama has reaffirmed this historic pledge, and we will hold him to it. Healthcare negotiations will be broadcast to the American people via CSPAN, they will not be conducted under cover of darkness.

The American people will watch the sausage being made.

He stressed that he would have open discussions with the American people -- about 46 million have no health insurance -- vowing that negotiations over his health-care plan would be aired on cable TV's C-SPAN.

Watch the video, Obama means business.

Memo to Members of Congress:  Don't cross Barack Obama. The American people are watching you.
