Obama Bipartisan Health Care Talks … Pelosi Aide Admits Summit is a Trick

And who doubted that Obama’s health care summit was nothing but a trick?

From the folks that brought you Obamacare … would they lie?

President Barack Obama has portrayed the health care summit with Republicans as a bipartisan meeting to come together with like ideas and to listen to one another with hostility. Republican leaders questioned why any one would want to debate and revive a health care bill that the President could not pass with his own party’s support. Then there was most common sense thinking people that just looked at the event as a political, photo-op stunt by Obama.

Now Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Aide admitted to the National Health Policy Conference hosted by Academy Health and Health Affairs that the Health Care Summit a Trick.

President Barack Obama has proposed a bipartisan health care summit for later this month that Republican detractors bill as a publicity stunt designed to generate more support for the flailing pro-abortion health care bill. Now, an aide to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi essentially admitted that’s the case.

In comments reported by Congress Daily, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s top health care aide Wendell Primus admitted top Democrats have already decided on the strategy to pass the Senate’s pro-abortion, government-run health care bill.

Primus explained that the Senate will use the controversial reconciliation strategy that will have the House approve the Senate bill and both the House and Senate okaying changes to the bill that the Senate will sign off on by preventing Republicans from filibustering.

“The trick in all of this is that the president would have to sign the Senate bill first, then the reconciliation bill second, and the reconciliation bill would trump the Senate bill,” Primus said at the National Health Policy Conference hosted by Academy Health and Health Affairs.

Did anyone really think Obama’s Health Care Summit was legit? After a year of denying access to the health care reform debate, after having House and Senate Democrats write a 2700 page government take over of health care that Obama’s Health Care Summit was nothing more than the “Beer” Summit with out the beer?

Natalee Holloway:Paulus van der Sloot, father of Joran van der Sloot, dead of cardiac arrest

Breaking news out of Aruba. Paulus van der sloot, father of prime suspect in the Natalee Holloway case Joran van der Sloot, died this evening while playing tennis of a cardiac arrest.

UPDATE I: Paulus Van der Sloot Dies at the age of 57 from a cardiac arrest

Paulus Van der Sloot, the father of Joran Van der Sloot and the last person reported to have ever seen Alabama teen Natalee Holloway alive has died of a cardiac arrest while playing tennis in Aruba at the Tierra del Sol estate.

Media on Aruba are reporting that Paul van der Sloot, the father of the main suspect in the Natalee Holloway disappearance case, has died.

Joran van der Sloot’s father collapsed on Wednesday evening when playing tennis at the Tierra del Sol estate on the Dutch Caribbean island. Emergency service staff were unable to resuscitate him. Paul van der Sloot was aged 57.

His son Joran is still suspected of involvement in the disappearance of American teenager Natalee Holloway on Aruba in May 2005. The case was brought back into the limelight when crime reporter Peter R. de Vries secretly filmed Joran van der Sloot claiming that he had dumped Natalee’s body in the ocean. The potentially incriminating statement was not accepted as evidence by the court.

In the end there is a Justice that outweighs man’s justice

In a Dutch article from HvNL, De Vries discusses the death of Paulus Van der Sloot and talks about it was always his opinion that Joran Van der Sloot was responsible for Natalee Holloway’s disappearance and that his father, the recently deceased Paulus Van der Sloot helped his son hide her body.

UPDATE II: I chatted with Jossy Mansur early this morning via email and he was gracious enough to provide Scared Monkeys with the follwoing translation from their front page Diario article on Paulas Van der Sloot.

Paul Van der Sloot died last night
He was playing tennis and fell to the ground.

ORANJESTAD (AAN) The well-known lawyer Paul van der Sloot died last night. He was playing tennis and at a certain moment collapsed. The information that DIARIO has says that the ambulance came immediately to the site and started to reanimate him. He was placed in the ambulance and was taken to the hospital, but not much could be done to save his life. Mr. Paul van der Sloot was a lot in the local and international news some time back after his son, Joran van der Sloot, became a suspect in the case of the disappearance of the young American girl Nathallee Holloway. This may have had an effect on  his health. Peace to his remains and strength to his family.

Jossy Mansur, the managing editor of Diario also provided us with the following:

“Justice has a strange way of correcting irregularities committed in its name. In this particular case, Paul had the necessary information we needed to solve the case, but decided to take it with him to his tomb. His version (the true one) we will never know. And we can never depend on Joran to come clean with what happened to Natalee.

Yes, Paul died playing tennis yesterday afternoon. God forgive him!“

Obama Trainer Need Lessons from the Elephant In the Room … Health Care Reform Needs to Start from Scratch

After one year of keeping Republicans out of the health care debate President Barack Hussein Obama now says that he is willing to meet Republicans half way on Obamacare. Half way? Interesting as the President said his idea of bipartisanship was listening to Republicans suggestions. Hmm, wouldn’t that mean that he had not been for a year? Who is the Party of “NO”?

“I’m willing to move off some of the preferences of my party, in order to meet them halfway, Obama said. “But there’s got to be some give from their side as well.”

Vanderbilt – ’10

Elephants and Conservatives have long memories. ‘Progressive’
claims of “moving forward” must be tempered with logical debate
and historical fact. The ‘Nationalization’ of the best healthcare system
in the world is both unconstitutional and unreasonable. Obscure
plans fashioned behind closed doors by frenzied political zealots
must not be foisted upon We the People. Little “Hopee Changee”
trainers need lessons from the Elephant In the Room.
