| Obama cites GOP ideas as he preps health care plan |
| 2010-03-03 |
| Ay-Pee article. More at link. In a bit of political sleight of hand, Obama said he might include four GOP-sponsored ideas in his plan, even though virtually no one in Congress or the White House thinks it will procure a single Republican vote. The move is aimed instead at wavering Democrats, especially in the House. Some of them might find it easier to vote for the health care package if they can tell constituents it had bipartisan elements that Republicans should have supported. Yet there is no guarantee that Democratic leaders will incorporate Obama's suggestions in revised legislation. |

| #2 Republican strategy should have been simple from the beginning. No tort reform, we don't even bother to sit down to talk with you about anything else. |
