Obama Has Learned Nothing From Massachusetts
Obama Is Like Ostrich With Head Buried In the Sand
In July of 2009, the American people were mostly undecided about Obamacare: equal numbers opposed and supported the health care bills that the White House was shepherding through Congress. But then August happened and informed Americans turned out at town halls across the country to express their strong disapproval of Obamacare.
The more the American public found out the larger the plurality of Americans opposing Obamacare became. We had town hall meetings and tea parties that spread the word of what Obamacare really is. The White House concluded they had a "communications problem" so they scheduled a prime time speech in front of a rare Joint Session of Congress. But the President's speech arrogantly dismissed the concerns of the American people and after a brief uptick in support (from the low 40s to the mid 40s), opposition to the President's plan grew even larger.
In November, liberals lost governor's races in New Jersey and Virginia as opposition to Obama's signature policy priority inched towards 50%. Again the White House concluded that nothing was wrong with their policy agenda and they dismissed their setbacks in two states that had voted for President Barack Obama as local elections with weak candidates.
The White House doubled down and pushed for a speedy passage of Obamacare with as little debate as possible. Over the next two months the White House bought support for their health care plan with the Louisiana Purchase, the Cornhusker Kickback, and big labor tax breaks. And their behind-closed-doors, backroom-deal tactics almost worked ... until Massachusetts happened.
Senator Scott Brown's (R) upset win over Attorney General Martha Coakley (D) took the Obama administration completely by surprise. The White House again concluded they had a "communications problem" so this time they scheduled a six-hour health care summit that is supposed to take place at The Blair House, across the street from the White House, this Thursday. But like everything else that has come out of the Obama administration during this health care debate, the President's effort to "seek common ground" at the summit is completely disingenuous. The New York Times reported this past Friday that the White House is drafting, and will release this morning, a final health care bill they expect Congress to pass quickly. And this bill is specifically designed to pass without any conservative support.
Obama is either like an ostrich with his head buried in the sand or could completely care less what the American people think or want. He and his socialist Democrats allies have decided that America will have Obamacare socialized health care even though a growing majority opposes it.
