"This is what change looks like," Obama said later in televised remarks that stirred memories of his 2008 campaign promise of "change we can believe in."
"We proved that this government — a government of the people and by the people — still works for the people."

National Review Online: "It is truly astonishing that Rep. Bart Stupak has been duped into thinking the president's executive order has done, or can do, anything to alter the Senate bill. Executive orders have the force of law only within the executive branch and only to the extent they are consistent with legislation. The executive order can do no more to prohibit use of federal funds for abortion than the Senate bill does. If there is any inconsistency between the executive order and the bill, the order gives way to the bill. Moreover, as is typical of executive orders, this one explicitly says that it creates no right at law to sue the U.S. government if funds in fact are paid for abortions. So, the executive order is a nullity. Stupak has allowed himself to be tricked into supporting a bill that he disagrees with on the basis of an executive order that does precisely nothing to alleviate his concerns."
[I believe that Stupak knew exactly what he was doing, was looking for some trickery, and was glad to find a way to dupe us. If he didn't figure this out for himself, it is yet one more indication that he is not fit for this office. He was in hiding, though in his office when I visited Capitol Hill last Tues. He is whining about how hard this has been on himself and his family, and I watched him scoot out of his office via a 2nd door without acknowledging his constituents in any way]

"This is the civil rights act of the 21st century," added Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, the top-ranking black member of the House.
GOP lawmakers attacked the legislation as everything from a government takeover to the beginning of totalitarianism, and none voted in favor. "Hell no!" Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, shouted in a fiery speech opposing the legislation. "We have failed to listen to America and we have failed to reflect the will of our constituents."
Thirty-four Democrats also voted "no" on the Senate-passed bill.

Obama turned off the spigots in California’s Central Valley in order to destroy crops, fruit trees, farmers’ livelihoods etc. in that once extremely fertile and productive area and to give him a large hammer to use against all of us who eat food and drink water. Obama affected this by design and on purpose first and foremost to observe whether or not he could get away with it—without violent uprisings from We-the-People—and second to begin his totalitarian control and oppression of the American people; control that now extends to controlling the water allocations—for Obama’s own personal support issues—and ultimately (as did the genocidal Josef Stalin) our country’s food supplies.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: This time, Obama agreed to turn on the water—now known as “Obama’s Water”—by 25% if Democrat California Congressmen Jim Costa and Dennis Cardoza voted for ObamaCare. They did. Next time, it will be far worse for any and all who do not support The Obama.
After Obama has shoved ObamaCare down the throats of the American people, the next steps will be an Obama fast-track program for Amnesty for Illegals (in order to shore up more new illegal votes to counter the massive legal votes to be cast against Obama and his willing Congressional minions), Cap & Trade (to make it impossible for the once middle and now forced into lower-class Americans to afford electricity) and any other oppressive program The Obama chooses to implement against We-the-People. In other words, Obama and the Marxists now in power in Washington D.C. have said—increasingly in ‘no uncertain terms’: “If you oppose us, we will crush you!” And they have.
Make no mistake, folks. Obama is ending our Republic as quickly and completely as possible. By the way, I’m still waiting for those additional “peaceful means” to stop these atrocities and their perpetrators. Thus far, I can still hear the proverbial pins dropping.

The Washington Examiner says: "As part of today's rally to stop the Democrats' health care reform legislation thousands of protesters descended on the lawn of Capitol building. But many more were also using the occasion to visit the their congressional representative and tell them what they think of the bill. However, Capitol Police recently stopped allowing any of the peaceful protesters to enter into congressional buildings. Crowds are now gathering in front of the House and Senate offices."

From the UK Telegraph: The nasty car crash that is Obamacare is dragging down Barack Obama’s presidency. The cancellation of his visit to Indonesia and Australia to stay at home offering pork-barrel enticements to doubtful House Democrats is the kind of desperate expedient we expect from Third World dictators apprised of a potential coup at home. It advertised to the world the precarious nature of a presidency that has all but lost control.
In his obsession with his healthcare fantasy, Obama is prepared even to allow the subversion of the US Constitution. For what else is the so-called Slaughter Solution? Leaving aside the grim irony of this name being associated with legislation that seeks to promote an explosion of abortions in America by injecting billions of dollars into state support of that abomination – and thereby making every taxpayer complicit in abortion – the fact remains that the fundamental purpose of the Slaughter Solution is to bypass the American Constitution.
What is Joe Public supposed to make of that unambiguously malign intent? Its secondary purpose is to remove accountability from members of Congress – this from the administration of a president who was swept to power promising an end to Washington deal-making and a new era of transparency in government. Has anyone before, in the entire history of the United States, ever attempted to deny citizens knowledge of how their Congressman voted on a highly contentious topic?

You've probably never heard of Dan Benishek, but he's a Republican running against Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI), who struck a deal with Nancy Pelosi that is believed to be the decisive vote to pass ObamaCare. More than 1,700 people have already joined Benishek's Facebook page.

From American Thinker's Matt Patterson: "In November 2008, Americans elected a socialist as their president. In March 2010, they woke up stunned to find themselves living in a socialist country.
Where were you when the Republic died? Health insurers - once private companies - are now organs of the federal government. Every citizen is a ward of the state, which can now compel you to have insurance; punish you if you don't; determine if your insurance is acceptable; punish you if it isn't. Thousands of new federal bureaucrats will soon spill from the D.C. Beltway and flood the country, scrutinizing our finances to verify compliance with this new law.
A government that grants itself this kind of power over us can conceivably do anything to us. For our own good, of course. Such a country is in no meaningful sense "free."
And this is only the beginning. Liberals are salivating in contemplation of all the fanciful window trimmings that can in the future be hung from this legislative framework. Public option will soon appear as prelude to single payer, as was the intent all along. Soon, Americans won't even have the illusion of a choice - the government will move from subsidizer to provider, and it will be the only game in town. [The Cloward and Piven strategy is working well.]
In 1776, the American Republic boldly announced its birth with the Declaration of Independence. In 2010, it quietly expired with a declaration of dependence - on government, on entitlement, and on the Democratic party."
