Meanwhile, Christmas Comes Early: No Obamacare this Year?

And hopefully not next year, either.

From ABC News:

Senior Congressional Democrats say reform before end of year is highly unlikely.
"Senior Congressional Democrats told ABC News today it is highly unlikely that a health care reform bill will be completed this year, just a week after President Barack Obama declared he was "absolutely confident" he'll be able to sign one by then.

"Getting this done by the by the end of the year is a no-go," a senior Democratic leadership aide told ABC News. Two other key Congressional Democrats also told ABC News the same thing.

This may come as an unwelcome surprise for the White House, where officials from the president on down have repeatedly said the health care bill would be signed into law by the end of the year."

This fight is nowhere near over. The President and his party doubtless intend to push this at every opportunity throughout his presidency.

Pray without ceasing, especially for our bishops!
