It’s as if they think we haven’t a clue what’s been going on over the last month with Obama hectoring us about the need for healthcare “reform” before the August recess:

Reid said reporters created a fictitious deadline of a successful vote by the August recess, and downplayed the fact that the chamber won’t meet that mark.
“That is a deadline that you created,” Reid told a group of about 75 reporters. “It’s not like we don’t have a product. Significant progress has been made … The mere fact that this wasn’t done by last Friday or by five o’clock doesn’t mean we’re not going to get a quality product.”

And of course the lapdog press will let them get away with it.
