No Means No, Mr. President

It's a phrase we haven't heard since the halcyon days of President Clinton -- and we heard it then in a slightly different context. 

Nonetheless, the American public has told Obama no, and he seems think no means yes:

President Barack Obama is expected to publish his healthcare plan as early as Sunday or Monday, combining features of the two Democratic bills passed by the Senate and House of Representatives, congressional aides and healthcare advocates said on Friday. ... The legislation the White House will post on its website is expected to reflect common ground negotiated over the past several weeks by House and Senate Democratic leaders. ... Those agreements are likely to be combined as a privileged budget reconciliation bill, which only needs a simple 51-vote majority to pass the 100-member Senate instead of the 60-vote supermajority that has become routine in the Senate and gives Republicans power to block the healthcare bill.

It ain't just on health care.  They're also pushing the egregious cap and trade bill again:

A last-ditch attempt at passing a climate change bill begins in the Senate this week with senators mindful that time is running short and that approaches to the legislation still vary widely, according to sources. ... "We will present senators with a number of options when they get back from recess," said one Senate aide knowledgeable of the compromise legislation that is being developed. The goal is to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that scientists say threaten Earth.

The Obama Administration is like a drunken frat boy forcing its will on the originally willing but now deeply protesting American public.  If he succeeds in forcing his policies on us, we will go all Jennifer Lopez in Enough (no, I haven't seen the movie, but I've seen the commercials, which are tantamount to seeing a Jennifer Lopez movie) on him come November.  It won't be pretty.

And to paraphrase a far better movie: President Obama -- go ahead.  Make our day.

Do you feel lucky, punk?  Well, do ya?
