WASHINGTON — The Senate will not vote on health care legislation before leaving for its summer recess, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Thursday, as he finally acknowledged out loud the inescapable political reality that has been clear for several days.
President Obama brushed aside the delay on Thursday, burying his reaction 20 minutes into a speech he delivered in the Cleveland suburb of Shaker Heights, where he traveled to make his case for the urgent need to change the nation’s health care system.
“We just heard today that we may not be able to get the bill out of the Senate by the end of August or the beginning of August,” Mr. Obama told a crowd of more than 1,500 people gathered in a gymnasium. “That’s O.K. I just want people to keep on working. Just keep on working.”

Obama is a fool.
The fight is not over. The recess will be used by Princess Pelosi to try and strongarm or buy off more votes......

And he's also an outright racist after that performance last night.
CONTACT FRANK KRATOVIL NOW ABOUT OBAMA-CARE!
Are you as outraged about Obama’s ridiculous “press conference” – did he actually answer any of the questions? It’s time to do everything possible to prevent passage of his health care “reform.” But don’t bother to contact Maryland’s Senators, both of whom are marching in liberal lockstep.
Instead direct your effort at Congressman Kratovil, who (as a “Blue Dog” Democrat) has been opposed to the Obama-care plan. Contact him in at least one of the following ways.

DON’T DELAY. Obama is pulling out all stops and Kratovil is being besieged by the Witch of the West (Nancy Pelosi) and her lackeys.
Pelosi and the rest of them are getting hammered by thier constituents.The American voter has more common sense than thos ethey have elected....Reid isn't doing this because it's the right thing to do...he's doing it because the political writing from voters is on the wall...SLOW DOWN AND THINK!
They want to do the right thing for the American people.
What I also find amusing is that he said twice last night: "We inherited a 1.3 Trillion dollar deficit". Does he think we are stupid? He actually "inherited" (or, as a Senator, helped create) a 484 Billion dollar deficit. He has quickly almost tripled it in 6 months.
Congress is full of cowards unable to make decisions unless they are sure the outcome is favorable to them.
It's too much in the public spotlight right now. They will recess and pass it later when we're not looking.
This is what happens when America elects an unqualified teleprompter reader as president.
Obama was elected because he had an enormously well funded marketing campaign coupled with voter fraud commited by ACORN.
All hype and no substance!
