Excerpts:
"...Somehow the president has managed to turn a base of new and
progressive voters he himself energized like no one else could in 2008
into the likely stay-at-home voters of 2010, souring an entire
generation of young people to the political process.....
...What's costing the president and courting danger for Democrats in
2010 isn't a question of left or right, because the president has
accomplished the remarkable feat of both demoralizing the base and
completely turning off voters in the center. If this were an
ideological issue, that would not be the case. He would be holding
either the middle or the left, not losing both....
..Leadership, Obama Style
Consider the president's leadership style, which has now become clear:
deliver a moving speech, move on, and when push comes to shove, leave
it to others to decide what to do if there's a conflict, because if
there's a conflict, he doesn't want to be anywhere near it......
...We have seen the same pattern of pretty speeches followed by empty
exhortations on issue after issue....."

And more available to the tens of millions. If it passes
his effort is not wasted.
His biggest success so far is preventing a deep recession
and collapse of the financial banking system. Having
saved the country from the ravages of Capitalism gone Mad,
he will continue.
The people however have limited vision, their jobs.
The polls show they are wrong since a majority things
the country is going in the wrong direction. The truth
is that it is pointed in the right direction and has
been for months.
Only because those of us who *choose* to roll the dice the American
way by *choosing* to self insure for their healthcare will be coerced
into buying health insurance under threat of
both fines and imprisonment for not doing so by this thing called
government "if it passes".
That's OK with Leftism because they think there is a Big Brother
somewhere who always knows what is best for us.
The rest of us realize all too well that the verb "to govern" is very
close to the verb "to oppress" (i.e. the essence of Socialism so
beloved by the Evleths).
This healthcare issue is purely the typical demagoguery of Leftism
articulated decades ago as follows:
"Medicine is the keystone in the arch of socialism." --V. Lenin

Evleth happens to be correct on that score.
Otherwise Obama never would have been elected POTUS.
"The current product" is what's left after those "other politicians"
in Congress threatened to filibuster the whole thing to deliberately
block any attempt to rein in the profane profits of the private
insurance companies presently dominating the present healthcare system
in the United States. Those "others," those non-Democrats, came very
close to again sabotaging all chances of making healthcare insurance
available to millions of Americans.
And, of course, that reflects the failure of president Obama's
leadership, the president's utter failure to persuade even one of
those "non-Democrats" in Congress to join the Democrats in trying to
formulate a healthcare insurance system that would be fair to all
Americans. It's obviously all Obama's fault.
Well, no one can blame the Republican politicians in Congress for
Obama's failure. Right?
Wasted effort. Was never, ever going to fly. Huge shame.
The government arbitrarily authorises more or less laissez faire phone
taps of its citizens and curtails any number of freedoms at the cost
of billions and nobody lifts a finger.
The government tries to offer a state run health insurance option that
is affordable for all Americans and all hell breaks loose.
What IS it with you people?

Since there's no money to pay for Yet Another massive government
spending spree, one can hope that if something does pass, it
wouldn't be completely insane.

Why should the government be running health care? As I've asked
before, why not argue that the government should be the bread
maker?

You never have told us who provides your health care, Bill. To be true to
your ideals, you should refuse to accept health care run by the government.
Do you?

we would all be on to him. What we do know is that he doesn't
work for a living. Otherwise he's big blank and that's the way
he intends to keep it.
