Here's my reply ( fugue warning!;) )
I'll tell you what I think...
All this week, Congressmembers have ignored and derided citizens' IN PERSON questions about "ObamaCare." In those rare instances Representatives are 'stuck' actually speaking to a constituent, they are unwilling or unable to answer serious questions about the legislation. Instead, they repeat threadbare talking points that have nothing to do with the question they've been asked.
Meanwhile, they are meeting back-to-back with Democrat party leaders, union reps and lobbyists, cutting secret deals ordinary citizens' would go to jail for if they offered or received them.
After who-knows-how-much *ahem* horsetrading, Congressional leaders announce a vote on a "process" Sen Harry Reid said was an unfounded rumor that "nobody is talking about" just a few dys ago. The "reconciliation" action is a scurrilous and cynical manipulation of the good-faith process of our Congress that millions of Americans are watching with disgust and dispair.
Congress has fallen. Americans have lost faith in the honest workings of the legislative branch of our government. They and the executive branch TO THIS VERY HOUR refuse to answer specific questions about this bill, instead choosing to hide behind locked doors, ducking the good people in the halls and talking only to each other.
And so we come to Obama's "pep talk." No answers, only more derision for those opposing the bill, and the process. No explanation, just more talking point ringing hollow.
It sickens me. It outrages me. And I'm waaay over here in California.
