Obama and Public Opinion Have Irreconcilable Differences -- By: Jim Geraghty

Reconcile This
We saw the reconciliation maneuver coming for a long time, and perhaps it was never as clear in its certainty than last week, when Harry Reid loudly insisted no one was talking about it.
Michelle Malkin: ""Make your voice heard," Obama urges. Unless you're a member of that Tea Party angry mob. Remember: The White House wants you people to shut up and get out of the way."
Dan Riehl is in fighting form: "It is contingent upon the Republican Party to undertake every step, every maneuver it can to bring this government to a halt. Tell me now how wrong Bunning was to do as he did, yesterday? Whose side are those Republicans who didn't support him really on, ours, or merely their own? If the GOP lacks the courage, or the ability to stop this pathetic power grab by the un-American, decadent Left - an ideology that has already failed over and over throughout much of the world - then it becomes not just a right, but a responsibility for the American people to take their country back from the political elites that have already bankrupted it. And after that, they now seek to do even more harm by capitalizing on a crisis. They confessed as much via ex-ballerina Rahm Emanuel, hence, they deserve no respect, or just due, as they are self-admittedly, an unjust crew. It is time to stop this government in its tracks, take it back democratically in the fall, or it then becomes time to bring this government down."
Rush, yesterday, hearing about Obama's latest pitch for health care at the White House: "Guess what, folks? His latest health care speech, number 442,000, is going to be surrounded by doctors and nurses. I hope they remember to bring the lab coats this time. Remember the last time they did one of these in the Rose Garden they had to pass out lab coats to the doctors? Of course, that wasn't a prop. Oh, no, no. That wasn't a prop. But when Eric Cantor brought the actual bill to the health care summit, that was a "talking point" and a "prop." So he's going to be surrounded by doctors and nurses... Here is the obligatory Alinsky line and this is the first paragraph the White House has released. "I don't believe we should give government bureaucrats or insurance company bureaucrats more control over health care in America." He precisely believes that! He precisely believes that a government bureaucrat, namely himself, should have control over health care. That's what this is all about, but you're going to hear him say, "I don't believe we should give government bureaucrats, insurance company bureaucrats more control over health care in America." He wants control of it. This is pure Alinsky. You speak in the language of your audience. He knows that his audience does not want what he is prepared to give them so he's going to try to convince his audience that he's going to give them what they want. He's going to lie, which he can't help. He's a liberal! He has to lie." campaignspot.nationalreview.com |
