OBAMA & DEMS TO GOP ON HEALTH CARE: T.S.

The President, House Speaker and Senate Majority Leader made it abundantly clear yesterday that the Democratic Health Care Plan will be passed, regardless of whether or not the opposition signs on to the bill. The “summit” exercise appeared to many to be one-sided and dictatorial, with Democrats holding the floor a majority of the time.

COMMENTS:

The “summit” met all of my expectations as previously stated on this blog and on MY AMERICAN OPINION. This President has made it abundantly clear that he is willing to throw his party under the bus through reconciliation if necessary. Obviously, he is aware that the viable future of his Presidency is on the line; has put it there of his own accord. The sad part is that every time a recent poll was mentioned to show American opposition to the plan as designed, the conversation was summarily redirected and Americans were therefore effectively shut out of the process. I think that move on Obama’s part and on the part of the Democrats will prove to be fatal to all of their future causes. Americans do not respond well to strong-arm tactics.

TODAY’S QUERIES &ANSWERS:

Q. Obama keeps harping about how he saved the economy and yet, according to yesterday’s news, unemployment claims are on the rise again, new housing sales have plummeted, and a huge housing and commercial property foreclosure crisis is just around the corner. How does he get away with these misstatements? (Blondie ~ Schaumberg, IL)
A. You just keep asking those questions. Ask your friends who believe in this Obama Administration. Ask the guy in the convenience store. Ask your neighbors and friends.


Q. What effect do you think the Health Care summit will have on the November elections? (Buck ~ Eureka, CA)
A. If it was up to me, I’d run off whoever was in the room except for Lamar Alexander. He showed some courage in standing up for Americans and, although he got dumped on by Obama and his stooges in the process, he appeared sincere in trying to turn the “summit” into something that really could have been productive. He should have received 100% backing from his colleagues, and I thought that was lacking.  In this farcical process, Obama also made it clear by his actions that he doesn't really care how many Democrats he loses in November, and it becomes increasingly possible that every Democratic seat up for reelection could be lost, either to a Republican, an independent, or a new Democrat.  And, if I were a Democrat seeking election or reelection, I'd be obliged to ask the President not to campaign for me. 

Q. I thought the Republicans showed a lot more class yesterday through their restraint in replying on some hostile remarks the Dems made. What do you think? (Mandee ~ Wadsworth, NV)
A. If you are going to effectively scrap with people who are used to gutter politics, you need to be prepared to get down into the gutter with them.  I know the country doesn't like gutter politics, but the
future of our country is at stake here.
