President Obama ready to get tough on HealthCare Reform!

From OpenLeft.com

President Barack Obama may rely only on Democrats to push health-care legislation through the U.S. Congress if Republican opposition doesn't yield soon, two of the president's top advisers said.

"Ultimately, this is not about a process, it's about results," David Axelrod, Obama's senior political strategist, said during an interview in his White House office. "If we're going to get this thing done, obviously time is a-wasting."

Both Axelrod and White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said taking a partisan route to enacting major health-care legislation isn't the president's preferred choice. Yet in separate interviews, each man left that option open.

"We'd like to do it with the votes of members of both parties," Axelrod said. "But the worst result would be to not get health-care reform done."

My thoughts: It is about time. It is obvious to me that Congress is not going to do this on their own and it is time for the president to quit trying to appease the party of no and get it done!
