Dems anticipate a health care bounce [in O's approval rating]
Politico ^ | 12/21/09 | Ben Smith

There's no point in the White House saying this, so it won't.

But an official predicted to me the other day that Obama's numbers would hit 60 after the health care bill passes, and Chuck Schumer seems to think roughly the same thing: that the public polling on the Democratic reform bill will turn around "soon."

When people see what is in this bill and when people see what it does, they will come around," Schumer said. "The reason people are negative is not the substance of the bill, but the fears that the opponents have laid out. When those fears don't materialize, and people see the good in the bill, the numbers are going to go up."

Yeah it’s so good that you had to put it together behind closed doors, buy off needed votes and pass it in the dead of night.

What are they smoking? The only bounce the Dems are going to get from Obamcare is being ridden out of town on a rail in front of an angry mob.

I look for it more to hit the mid 30’s for Obama and single digits for Congress.America does not want this bill but they are doing it anyway.

Sounds like The Dems needs a psych workup.
And a neurological one (to detect/analyze dementia) would also
be indicated.

They’re totally dishonest. But then, crooks always are.

My two cents: ruin the Christmas of every RAT who voted for the House or Senate bills. Raise Hell if they have the nerve to come home. They ruined our Christmas; let’s return the favor.

If its so good, then why has Congress been allowed to opt out of this monstrosity? They need to go first, and if it works for them, then maybe we’ll take the plunge. But, the bill is so bad, they want nothing to do with it themselves. They can spare me the “we’re doing something good for the American people.” Oh gosh, massars, can we have the crumbs that fall from your royal tables?

These people make me sick!

Not to mention the 10% tax on tanning beds. I don’t use them, but a lot of college aged female Obama worshippers do.

Not so fast. Granny’s Social Security check is going down for the first time in 30 years. They will blame Obama and the out of touch health care obsessed Dem Congress.

Seniors are MAD.
