Thinking that they would sneak it through without anyone noticing, back in July, the left-wing members of Congress thought they had an easy sell with their various version of the proposed health care reform bill.

The public went nuts, and rightfully so.

Then came July 31st, and it was time for recess.

Now today, September 8th, after literally thousands of town-hall meetings, extreme amounts of press coverage, and internal conflict, Congress will reconvene and jump into the pilot’s seat once again in an effort to get the proverbial ball rolling before Obama steps up to the plate Wednesday night, hoping to hit a grand slam with America.

Here’s a status update of what’s currently going on inside Congress:

1. Republicans are almost unanimously against pretty much anything the left drafts up that has any remote hint of a public option.

2. Pelosi and Hoyer are having a hard time deciding which caucus bloc to side with, as it will inevitably create conflict with the other ones.

3. Liberals, who have strength in numbers in the House, say that without a public option in the bill, we might as well not even have reform.

4. More than 60 House democrats, last month, sent a letter to Pelosi vowing with certainty to vote down any bill that doesn’t have a public option.

5. Obama has been playing the same record for a month now, saying the same thing over and over. Rep. Brad Miller (D-NC) summed it up nicely with the following quote, “”President Obama needs to start talking about what’s in the bill, not what’s not in the bill. Whenever I see him on TV, he’s talking about what’s not in the bill.”

6. A large number of dems don’t want the House to do anything until they have a good idea of what will happen in the Senate.

There’s a lot more going on, but the above points are ones I thought were interesting. Some are saying that the September 9th speech that Obama will deliver in front of a joint session of Congress will be the most important speech of his career. I think many will agree with that. Again, if he wants ANY job security, I hope he has some different talking points up his sleeve, because we’re TIRED of the same old “broken record” blah blah blib blab.

Perhaps instead of trying to rush and blind-side America with a multi-trillion dollar health care reform bill, we can focus on bringing the economy back to a level playing field. We’re close, according to many analysts, but throw several more trillion dollars on the tab, and we’re going to paying through the nose for some time to come.

What are your thoughts? What do you expect out of the big speech Wednesday? What would you like to hear?
