A new Gallup poll on Obamacare was released this morning and it showed that there is still a great deal of Division in America regarding the health care issue.

What in the world are you trying to say?
Most people don’t want medical services delivered by the Department of Motor Vehicles, or the IRS. The citizens who vote by proxy (whatever...) or don’t pay attention (moderates) have turned against this turkey.
Somehow, I’m not that optimistic that if they passed the bill this year the Dims will pay next year. Reasons, among others: (1) Election is about a year from the planned-votes. Many things can happen, and people have short memory. (2) While voters in general express their dislike of the Congress, they are more likely to vote for their own incumbent, especially those who bring home some pork. (3) The Republicans don’t seem to have anything that can be offered to convince people voting for them. No leader (in the Congress itself), no plan.
