Cleaver: Obama doesn't have the votes to pass health care reform

[proud2BlibKansan]

Congressman Emanuel Cleaver said today on KCUR's "Up to Date" that President Barack Obama doesn't have the votes to pass health care reform in the U.S. House.

"We're not at 217," Cleaver said, referring to the number needed to pass the bill.

Later, the three-term Democrat from Kansas City said the passage number could be 216 given vacancies in the House.

The count today, Cleaver said, is about 201 health care supporters.

That number, he added, could fluctuate significantly as a final vote nears.

1. This only further demonstrates how inept the Democrats are. For over a year

there was so much they could have done, and they pissed it away

It was know quite early that there would be no bipartisanship, but no, they continued with that mantra

I suspect the house will pass it, and most of this bullshit is being done for dramatic effect
