So this Sunday, President Obama is going to be on pitching his health care plan AGAIN. Only it is not really his and there really isn't a health care plan that will pass both the House and Congress yet. But I digress. Apparently, he is completely avoiding Fox News and sticking with his "favorite" networks. Do you think he is trying to send a message to Fox News by giving them the "cold shoulder" or do you think that the ratings for Fox News will be even higher simply because everyone is sick of seeing him giving yet another campaign speech?
I think a lot of people are tired of him giving these speeches.

Fox news is decidedly conservative leaning. Which means they are not going to have a lot of nice things to say about Obama or this current admin.
SO therefore Obama is not going to go on the show. He wants to go on to new channels that will HELP him sell his plan. Not a network that will hurt him in his process of trying to sell this plan.
Wait....is there even a plan or a real bill yet?

Precisely. Which one of those five bills is he trying to sell? I don't know anyone selling something before they had a product in hand, unless it is a Scam.

No real bill is in place. They are still fighting over what is and is not going to be in it. It is getting confusing and I think they are doing that on purpose TO confuse us.
But ya you would think Obama would not try to sell a plan til there is a plan.
But to be honest I think he is just selling the idea of healthcare reform. He has made such a big deal about this that if nothing passes or gets done it will hurt him. SO he has to get something (anything) passed at this point on healthcare.
Plus I think they are getting the people so frustrated and sick of hearing about it for a reason. So that the majority of the people just say "pass something and get it over with" and not really care what is in it anymore. Which means they won't really pay attention to what is in the bill. Which would be really bad for us.

I for one sincerely hope that his health care plan is just like the one Hillary and her committee drew up for Bill - 100% useless - and I hope it goes the same place Bill's went - in the nearest paper shredder. If Obama gets anything passed we certainly don't want it to be like the NHS here in the UK - a total waste of time and money and a definite danger to the population. Give it up Mr. Obama. Fox news tells the truth - what does that say about you not going on there.
