Exactly and not one single reporter not one in the media has asked him to claify what is more important Mr. president to get the Healthcare bill done or to get it done right.
His insistance that this be done so he can wave it around as a political accomplishment is the Problem, the American people want something done but not this massive intrusion...
So whats more important getting something done? Or getting it done right...
Heck the thing doesn’t even go in effect for 4 years...
I bet he already has it written in to his SOTU address...
But, when it comes to the issues of the American people he has a tin ear, it is obvious they do not look at the polls, if they did they would realize that they are losing independents, the American folks are more conservative and liberals are only about 20% of the American population.
If I saw these number's I would think long and hard about what it is this country needs, not what the democrat's or more importantly the progressives want.
The progressives argue, we have the congress and the White House and damned if we haven't waited 4 decades to get these issues near and dear to the progressives passed but Obama was elected with moderates and independents AND he is losing them by the numbers every day.
You are right health care doesn't go into effect for 4 years, but taxes start once the bill is signed, and the final bill wont be fully operational for 10 years.
I know I would risk more seats as a conservative/republican but I have tell you I want this country to have jobs, the economy to improve the dollar to have more value and if those improved Obama might get the credit in the next election.
But, my fellow Americans lives are at stake.
Obama needs to hunker down in the WH, start solving the big issues of the country that are immediate, deciding to support our troops in Afghanistan and perhaps passing small less threatening health care reform that would be more tolerable to the American people.
Again thank you for the excellent post.
