Well, vacation’s over for the big guy in the White House. August was evidently a ton of fun as the presidential entourage traveled around the country taking a quick peek at the locals to try to gage the temperature of the great unwashed masses. Even after carefully orchestrating the campaign stops townhall meetings so that only a teensy minority of the non-kool-aid drinkers were allowed into the hallowed presence of The One, it seems like someone on the staff actually got a whiff of the outrage wafting up from the globally warmed grassroots.
With his approval ratings falling like a homey’s gansta pants, Obama has come to a brilliant conclusion: It’s time to take a leadership role. Ya’ think???? All this time we’ve been hearing that this guy’s some sort of genius and finally he figures this out? Talk about a remedial grasp of the obvious.
“Which Way Did They Go? How Many Were There? How Fast Were They Going? I Must Find Them … I Am Their Leader!”
This ought to be a fun watch:
The Left-wing Nuts are insisting on a single-payer, universal healthcare plan that’s free for everybody, the Liberal Elites are focusing on a public-option, hoping to slip in the single-payer government plan by using the ever-popular reconciliation process, the Moderate Democrats are thinking they could live with co-ops (as long as they don’t have to define them), but they’re willing to vilify the insurance companies, figuring no one will notice that’s who would be running the co-ops, and the Blue Dogs are chasing their tails trying to find a friendly place to lay down and hide.
We haven’t even gotten to the independents, the conservatives, the TEA Party folks, the seniors, and Sarah Palin and the Death Panel chorus.
And the political lightweight who hasn’t even led a Girl Scout Troop on a field trip thinks he can whip this circus into shape???
Go get ’em wrangler!
I heard Obama and the team were polling trying to find small words the public likes. Then they were going to string them together and try to create a policy. Sounds like this should be a fun fall since the TV season looks a little poor.
Wouldn’t you have thunk that The One would have communicated to Congress what it is exactly he wants/needs to see in the health plan. Seems he doesn’t know what’s in the several bills they call “health reform”….oh no, that was the first title…..now it’s “insurance reform”. Nancy and Harry are waiting with bated breath to see what it is he can’t live without. BTW hope Harry is loving the limelight…he’ll be riding into the sunset in the Nevada hills pretty soon. Good riddance. So will a lot of folks in Washington unless they realize before it’s too late that seniors and others want them to keep their dirty hands off our medical plans. And stop spending so much money; they aren’t keeping their convenants with social security recipients.
