Senator Roland Burris (D-IL), an African-American from Chicago, who ironically holds the same seat formerly held by Barack Obama, is forecasting that he might vote with Republicans against cloture which will effectively kill the ObamaCare bill.   He claims the bill has been gutted from a government "option" and other key provision that he sees no need to support the legislation.

As Americans rallied against ObamaCare in a "Code Red" protest rally on the grounds of the Capitol Building, President Obama assembled key Democrat senators and Independent Senator Joseph Lieberman, to give the final push to get the 60 votes required to defeat the Republican filibuster.  President Obama and instructed Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to give Lieberman whatever he wants to get the bill through the Senate.
