Senate to House: 'You can't spend your whole life worrying about your mistakes! You f***ed up... you trusted us!'

William Jacobson was among the first to point out that reconciliation doesn't matter when it comes to Democrats ramming Obamacare through Congress.

Probably the single biggest obstacle to Obamacare is House Democrats who do not like the Senate health care bill, but whose votes are needed to move the budget reconciliation process along... The strategy appears to be for the House to pass the Senate bill as is, based on the promise of the budget reconciliation process being successful in the Senate to implement changes.

But what if the Senate does not or cannot pass the changes through the reconciliation process?

Obama then has to power to sign the bill as passed by the House and Senate, meaning the Senate bill... Has Obama promised not to do so? ...Here's a list of Obama promises to the left-wing of the Democratic Party which have been broken, courtesy of Firedoglake: Senate Health Care Bill Is Built On Obama’s Broken Promises.

Here are some others, all from the left:

The Senate's reaction to the House echoes Otter's missive to Flounder:

"You can't spend your whole life worrying about your mistakes! You f***ed up... you trusted us!"

Anyone who trusts Barack Obama, Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod and President Andy Stern needs their head examined (after it is oh-so-carefully extracted from their posterior).
