"A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men
from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."

AP sources: Obama summons Senate Dems

With this summons to the White House of all Democrats (58 Democrats; 2 Independents) a tactic reminiscent of Chicago thug politics, we take it that the President did not hang around Copenhagen for the Global Warming conference this week which he had planned to attend.

Did someone finally tell him that the Conference is blowing up as the larger nations tried to staff developing countries or the fact that emails point to a hoax on Global Warming? Or did the Obama staff finally figure out that Obama had no authority in Copenhagen to commit the United States to any treaty? Takes 2/3rds of the Senate to ratify a treaty and that wasn't happening.

Whatever it was, Obama is back in the White House and is now wanting to talk to all Democrats plus two Indy's at the White House on Healthcare. Will Lieberman, Nelson (D-NE), and others cave or will they stick to what their constituents want? Only time will tell.

The Senate bill is extremely unpopular with American voters. Some Democrat Senators will be showed the Unemployment Line in November if they vote for the Reid Healthcare bill the way it reads today. With Obama's poll numbers continuing to tank, voting for this pork/earmark ladened bill will doom the Democrat Party in 2010 and perhaps in 2012 as American voters are mad that some members of Congress have turned a deaf ear to their wishes.
