“That has to frighten the unholy trinity of Barry/Rahm/Axeldork.”
My fear is that poll numbers like these are going to amplify efforts to get health care reform either because a) they know that in light of these poll numbers, Obama won’t have a second shot at this issue; or b) they foolishly believe the public’s lukewarm support is because the president hasn’t ACCOMPLISHED anything, so once health reform is enacted, his poll numbers will rise... :-(
I've said this before, but I think that they've already resigned themselves to the fact that they're going to lose the House next year. Plus, it doesn't bode well for them in the Senate that their Leader is in the political battle of his tenure, just to keep his job.
I saw that speech to the Joint Session as the big middle finger to the GOP. That was Obama saying - not so subtly - to the left side of the chamber, "It's either now or never, because you fools are all about to lose your jobs next year". I thought then, and I think now, that they'll ram something through sooner, rather than later.
DeMint was correct.
Healthcare is Zero’s Waterloo.
