Live remarks from Facebook users during Obama's Health Care Summit
I watched the Health Care Summit live on Facebook today and participated in a forum where other viewers were able to discuss the summit live. The vast majority of people posting there today appeared to be in favor of both a public option and reconciliation. Here are just a few of the remarks:

3:54pm
they will not pass Health Care Reform, perhaps they will provide coffins.
3:54pm
CBO.
3:54pm
Paying for health care IS a budget item.
3:54pm
we are not by of and for the people, havent been for quite awhile.
3:54pm
Oh no! No John!
3:54pm
Get it done with 51!
3:55pm
Budget neutral good for Dingle.
3:54pm
Do you suppose people like Sean Hannity, Keith Olbermann, Glenn Beck, Rachel Maddow and Chris Mathews hang out in here under pseudonyms.
3:54pm
"After all, including legal fees, insurance costs, and payouts, the cost of the suits comes to less than one-half of 1 percent of health-care spending." http://www.slate.com/id/2145400/.
3:55pm
USA only 1st world nation without national healthcare. Shame on you politicians. We should vote you all out.
3:55pm
Long Live Nancy Pelosi!!!
3:55pm
RECONCILIATE.
3:55pm
Give em Hell Nancy.
3:55pm
Argh, I can't stand Pelosi. She needs to get off her high horse.
3:55pm
"Get it done with 51!" I like that!
3:55pm
President Obama exhibited leadership that we can be proud of.
3:55pm
Lets just get the 51 votes!!
health care is not a right.
Good bumpersticker: Get 'er done with 51!


You can read the rest at the link above. This was only about 20 minutes of the discussion and it's long, even though I left out the rambling Walmart discussion that populated the forum for most of the summit.
