In his Saturday address, President Obama promoted his upcoming “bipartisan health care meeting” and said that he hopes both parties “come in a spirit of good faith.” But Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) knows Obama’s true intentions:

“[T]his bill is a 51 vote plan and not a 60 vote plan – that is great news … These concessions to Republicans are in the hopes of winning their support … This will simply not happen. We need to stop bargaining against ourselves.”

When Democrats like Congressman Weiner are praising the lack of bipartisanship in Obama’s plan to ram the Senate Democrats’ bill through reconciliation, Americans know what the White House’s true intentions are, a slap in the face to the vast majority of Americans who say that we need to start over on health care.
