Obama urges spirit of compromise on healthcare

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama called on the U.S. Congress on Saturday to be willing to compromise on a plan to overhaul the U.S. healthcare system now that a key Senate committee has wrapped up work on its proposal.

I bet he did. Urging compromise is a desperate tactic of someone who is losing.

Note to Republicans and blue dog Democrats: if you give in, compromise for the sake of "getting along" and shove government health care down our throats, be prepared for a firestorm the likes of which hasn't been seen since 1776. You just THOUGHT you got an earful from a beligerant citizenry at the town hall meetings.

Further note to politicians: quit "fixing" things. Everything you touch turns to crap. Get out of our damn lives. Secure the borders, run the wars and, well, that's it.
