Rasmussen : ObamaCare more unpopular than ever
Hot Air ^ | SEPTEMBER 16, 2009 | ED MORRISSEY

Posted on 09/16/2009 9:25:39 AM PDT by RobinMasters

And on the seventh day since Barack Obama gave The Word to a joint session Congress, the voters have seen ObamaCare and pronounced it … not good. Rasmussen now reports that opposition to ObamaCare has hit its highest level yet at 55%, with its low equaling its August nadir:

One week after President Obama’s speech to Congress, opposition to his health care reform plan has reached a new high of 55%. The latest Rasmussen Reports daily tracking poll shows that just 42% now support the plan, matching the low first reached in August.

A week ago, 44% supported the proposal and 53% were opposed. Following the speech last Wednesday night intended to relaunch the health care initiative, support for the president’s effort bounced as high as 51% (see day-by-day numbers). But the new numbers suggest that support for health care reform is now about the same as it was in August.

The ‘bama is truly betting it all with his media blitz this weekend. He must believe that the failure of health care will be the end of the relevance of his presidency. We can only hope.

Interesting to see. The more that Obama gets out there and has town meetings and makes speeches on healthcare, the less support he gets. Wow. He got elected on the promise of hope and change, but he can’t sell one of the big changes he wanted to make.

You mean that his mentions of Ted Kennedy’s last letter to the president, as he mentioned in his speech, didn’t tip the balance on this issue? Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden had visible tears in their eyes as Obama mentioned Teddy in the speech. Weren’t people moved to see Nancy’s tears?

‘The ‘bama is truly betting it all with his media blitz this weekend.’

I think Zero bet it all on his speech last Wednesday. This upcoming Sunday morning media blitz won’t save him.

Speech to Congress was more hot air bloviating with unspecific proposals and amounted to nothing more than an hour long, "We I need it. I need it. I REALLY need it."

Wonder how much he has been promised if this passes?

0bamaCare not only covers abortion, it is an abortion.

The cowards in DC will pass something. While I would like to see some healthcare reform (not Obama's way), the American sitting on their arses need to get up and get a job instead of leeching off those of us that work are butts off!

He's back on his heels. He's getting his butt kicked all over the place. He's in way over his head and is reverting to the only tool he has.

If pollsters think Obamacare is unpopular now, wait until it passes, and 40 percent of our doctors quit. How long are Democrats waiting in line to see a doctor now? Think about it. I know NeoCom fruitcakes get their neurons mucked up in Utopian goo, but this is a reality they should think about.

Dear Governor Perry,

On March 30, 2009 the Texas House of Representatives passed HCR 50 affirming that the State of Texas claims sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment.

You have publicly supported this bill, and stated that attorney generals from all over the union could be getting ready to sue the US Government.

We are asking you to take the lead.

We are asking you to order the Texas Attorney General to publicly begin working on a law suit under Article IV, Ninth, and Tenth Amendment of the Constitution.

We are asking you to protect the citizens of Texas that we will not stand for government controlled healthcare in our state.

Under your leadership we can effectively kill the proposal of this administration and allow Texas to be a state free from socialism and collectivism.

Be the voice of reason in the national debate and allow Texans the ability to solve the problems of our state.

Thank you,

(Signature Date)

Facts about the 10th Amendment:

The Tenth Amendment (Amendment X) of the United States Constitution, which is part of the Bill of Rights, was ratified on December 15, 1791. The Tenth Amendment restates the Constitution’s principle of Federalism by providing that powers not granted to the national government nor prohibited to the states are reserved to the states or the people.

HCR 50 HAS PASSED THE HOUSE 99-36!
Affirming that the State of Texas claims sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the U.S. Constitution, serving notice to the federal government to cease and desist certain mandates, and providing that certain federal legislation be prohibited or repealed.

Take Action! Before it is too late!
