Which brings us to now. Another Democratic president and another Democratic Congress don’t care that Americans oppose a government health care system disguised as reform.
With their elitist mentality, they genuinely believe they know better than we do what’s best for us. If it takes hiding from constituents, fine. If it takes lying about what their plans entail, OK. If it takes cajoling, promising, threatening, it’s just part of doing what they’ve decided is right and needed.
If the president succeeds in imposing ObamaCare, it will be a Pyrrhic victory. All those Americans held in such contempt by the liberal establishment will be at the polls next year and in 2012. They’ll remember how they were disrespected and ignored. And Obama & Co. will have no one to blame but themselves for ignoring a lesson of the Carter years.
Danger, Will Robinson!! Spin Alert!
You have to keep an eye on these MSM people all the time and maintain a very high level of suspicion when you read anything they report. Obama does not enjoy a substantial majority in both the House and the Senate. In the House, yes, but the Senate is different. He can only get something done without Republican votes if EVERY SINGLE Democrat votes with him. That is hardly a substantial majority.
Good. I hope you get tons more this week and next week and and ...
Thanks Carter, you gave South America to the Chinese.
I don’t think the Panama Canal had much to do with Carter’s overwhelming defeat by Reagan. It had a lot more to do with an economy in which double digit inflation, interest rates, and unemployment were the norm. In any case, Obama is eerily similar to Carter, from his arrogance to his absolute lack of understanding of the American people (other than the far left). If his health care bill passes, he loses; if his health care bill doesn’t pass he loses.
So it was in September, 1977 when Jimmy Carter signed the Panama Canal treaties to relinquish United States control. An Associated Press opinion poll conducted that month found that only 29 percent of Americans favored the pact. A solid 50 percent opposed it and 21 percent expressed no opinion... He went on to describe the aftermath: "It is the most courageous thing that the U.S. Senate ever did in its existence. They knew that it was politically unpopular, but they knew that it was right and needed."The most courageous thing... yow... what a self-aggrandizing moron.
