Obama poll predictions...a guess
There is a stronger than middlin' likelyhood that the USA will experience health care reform. I'll even stick my neck out and say there is a good chance of a Public Option. Once this health care debate is resolved...and lets assume it passes for the purpose of this poll, what do you think will happen to Obama's popularity ratings?

And just for fun: Obama triumph ahead - TheHill.com

As a cynical old political hack and the guy who created the campaign many credit with — or blame for — the demise of Clinton healthcare, I’m supposed to be a little less of a Pollyanna about such matters. But I can’t help it. Like a lot of Americans, I’m thinking that the “skinny kid with a funny name” who grew up to be president just may pull this off. I’m going to savor that message a little before we get back into the game.

Cramming an unwanted and totalitarian bill down our throats, on top of his other utterly useless but draconian economy fixes will help finish him off.

I wish, but with the media totally ignoring the larger picture, and the general public not seeing through the smoke and mirrors, I have my doubts. Those remaining fence sitting Dem senators will be bought off with tems of billions of wastefull spening for their states - maybe $50 billion each would do it. Like I said we the people get screwed.

Oh, please! $50 billion each? You are WAY WAY off, Andy.

The $100 Million Health Care Vote? - The Note

Senator Landrieu's price appears to be $100 million.

Well as the old saying goes, "we know what they (these senators) are, now we are just negotiating a price"
