Dem Rep. Weiner Says If Obama Drops Public Option He Will "Lose 100 Democrat Votes in the House" - Video 8/17/09
Here is video of New York Rep. Anthony Weiner on CNBC today talking about the Health Care Debate and the opposition Democrats are facing at Town Hall Meetings around the country.
Weiner says the opposition is coming mainly from older people who are scared and just don't understand the issues. He said President Obama "has not done a good job" of getting the case for ObamaCare across to people.
Weiner said that if Obama moves away from the public plan, he is not going to pass a bill. Weiner said if he tries to cut a deal to get Senate support by dropping the "Public Option," he will likely lose 100 votes in the House among Democrats.

Good! Lose Them!It's UnWanted TrasH!!!
No Gov.HealthCare-No Public Options!!
Old folks fear losing Medicare. They know the system works. What they want is, for it to be fully funded. I support Mr Weiners view, that if we dont get Medicare for all, we the people lose. As a Conservative Republican, I think on this issue he's got it right.
