House Speaker Nancy Pelosi explains how to get stuff done when obstacles exist.  In this instance she is speaking of health care.

“You go through the gate. If the gate’s closed, you go over the fence. If the fence is too high, we’ll pole vault in. If that doesn’t work, we’ll parachute in. But we’re going to get health care reform passed for the American people.”

Though Sen. Harry Reid semed to think that Democrats had plenty of time to get health care reform passed before they lost the 60th vote in the Senate, he similarly thinks that they have time to get  health care reform passed with the 58 majority that Democrats currently enjoy.  It is this kind of thinking that is the reason health care reform has been dragged out for a year.  It is urgent that we get reform passed as soon as possible.  The House Speaker explains the path to making it happen:

“There is a path” to getting it done. It’s “majority rule” to fix the bill and to pass both and send to President Obama.

Its on you Harry.  Pass a House drafted reconciliation fix to the current Senate bill with a simple majority (making Leiberman, Nelson, Lincoln, Baucus, and Conrad irrelevant) and send it along with the Senate bill to the President for signatures.  Do not sqaunder this time away because soon Dems will be frozen in the full heat of midterm elections.
