American Thinker Blog: White House unleashes vicious partsian attack over heatlh care vote: "Merry Christmas from the White House.

In keeping with the spirit of the season, the administration's designated attack dog Dan Pfeiffer accused the GOP of standing in the way of 'progress' and claims the Baucus bill accepted 150 Republican amendments:

Contrary to what one Republican Senator said today, Democrats did not 'do the HELP Committee bill completely Democrat' without 'even ask[ing] one Republican opinion.' In fact, they accepted more than 150 Republican amendments.

In putting together the Finance Committee bill, Senator Baucus held months of bipartisan discussions. The Committee held a day-long bipartisan health care summit, convened three bipartisan roundtables, and even issued three bipartisan policy papers laying out the options from which the Committee chose to craft its bill.

Once the bill hit the Senate floor, Republicans passed up the chance to offer constructive amendments. Instead they chose to obstruct votes and offer six separate motions to essentially start from scratch."
