David Axelrod as Christopher Walken I got a fever, and the only prescription is more Obama!
By Jonah Goldberg
ABC News reports that Barack Obama has returned to Washington, only to step off the plane and “into his next domestic crisis.” He “planned to leave the details of health-care reform to Congress, but today the White House says he’ll play a much stronger role.” The Associated Press says Obama is “backing away” from his “‘it’s-all-on-the-table’ approach” and is “prepared to get louder and more involved in the details of a health care overhaul.” “This weekend,” NBC Nightly News explained in its lead story, “the president signaled an aggressive stance to put his personal stamp on the sweeping legislation.”
There’s only one problem. These stories were all reported nearly three months ago upon Obama’s return from his largely failed European mission. And yet, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that Obama’s planned address to a joint session of Congress next week “will insert the president into the heated debate in a way he has avoided all summer.” The Washington Post informed readers that the “White House is scrambling to take control of the health-care debate after watching from the sidelines.” A “senior aide” to Obama says the president will be “much more prescriptive.”
Why the White House press corps didn’t just change the date on their old copy and run it again is beyond me. And I’ll leave it to others to ponder the media’s seemingly infinite capacity to give Obama as many do-overs as he might need.

"I gotta have more cowbell baby!"
I think we should all play cowbells during Obama’s speech next week.
No matter what they say to sell it, either the President or Congress, they will end up putting whatever they want in the bill. Then they will depend on short memories and lots of lies from the press to smooth it all over by election time. If that fails there is always ACORN.
Once established, a massive program like that will never go away.
“....A “senior aide” to Obama says the president will be “much more prescriptive.”...”
Un.. believable. People are panicked that Government-Run Obamacare will Restrict, Prescibe and Dictate exactly what they can and can not do to stay healthy and on this earth Obama’s little helper, the unnamed senior WH aide, declares that Obama will be “Much More Prescriptive”. Prescriptive really!
Do we have a mole in the WH? He/she could not have chosen a more disasterous phrase to use on Zero’s behalf. I hope the RNC does nothing more that quote WH aides and Gibbs in its press released this weekend.
BTTT!
