The ObamaCare QuagmirePosted on \| November 4, 2013 \| 15 Comments “Obama: Anatomy of a World Leader,” by Alex Gray (detail) “I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.” – Barack Obama, June 3, 2008 Attempts by the White House and liberal media to spin their way out of this mess are failing almost as badly as ObamaCare itself. The simple facts are against them, and the elaborate rationalizations cannot hide the truth. A quick sample of headlines today: Health Consumers Finding Out They Were Sold a Lemon – Megan McArdle, Bloomberg I had great cancer doctors and health insurance. My plan was cancelled. Now I worry how long I’ll live. – Edie Littlefield Sundby, Wall Street Journal Will Insularity, Incompetence, and Lies Doom Obamacare? – Ron Fournier, National Journal Obamacare: Memo reveals health care adviser warned W.H. was losing control 3 years ago – CBS News Feinstein: Hey, you could have kept your plan … until we enacted ObamaCare – Ed Morrissey, Hot Air What this resembles, quite frankly, is the way George W. Bush’s popularity tumbled in his second term after the insurgency in Iraq started inflicting significant casualties on U.S. troops with no apparent end in sight. Bush was re-elected in 2004 because voters believed (by a relatively narrow majority) that we should “stay the course” in Iraq, and that the insurgency was being defeated. But as 2005 gave way to 2006 and the U.S. death toll in Iraq kept mounting, the perception began to grow that we had taken on an impossible task, that our troops were stuck in a pointless mission they could not win, and there was a political backlash that caught most Republicans by surprise. ObamaCare is a quagmire, and Democrats have no exit strategy. theothermccain.com
