After months of accusing conservatives of frightening voters over healthcare reform, President Obama is resorting to tactics that even liberals are calling "fear mongering" in a bid to persuade the Senate to approve his ObamaCare proposals.

Obama declared Wednesday night on ABC News that without healthcare reform the federal government would go bankrupt.

"If we don't pass it, here's the guarantee," President Obama told ABC's Charlie Gibson, "that the people who are watching tonight, your premiums will go up, your employers are going to load up more costs on you.

Potentially they're going to drop your coverage, because they just can't afford an increase of 25 percent, 30 percent in terms of the costs of providing health care to employees each and every year.

"And the federal government will go bankrupt," Obama continued, "because Medicare and Medicaid are on a trajectory that are unsustainable, and this actually provides us the best chance of starting to bend the cost curve on the government expenditures in Medicare and Medicaid."

ABC News termed the president's prediction a "dire scenario."

Such rhetoric may be an indication that the administration fears its window is narrowing to pass a reform that is increasingly unpopular with the American public. Obama also is facing a revolt from his party's left.
