What a blunder this thing has been, win or lose, what a miscalculation on the part of the president. The administration misjudged the mood and the moment.

It's only a blunder if looked at from the perspective that Obama wants what is best for America. If seen correctly as an attempt to grease the skids to future tyranny by creating a huge new unconstitutional role for the Federal government, regardless of what happens to today's crop of political actors in the short run, then everything that has been done makes perfect sense.

The political careers of Obama and his party's Senators are small sacrifices to achieve a greater long-term goal.

You've got it and it deserves repeating.

Precisely right. Sure the Dems may be out of power for 5, 10 or 20 years. But as another generational change occurs, the nation will settle in and live with a monstrous and tyrannical health care system that will completely bankrupt the country. It happened with the New Deal. It happened again with the Great Society. And it will happen once more with the Obamanation. By the 100th anniversary of the New Deal, we will complete slaves to a tyrannical government.
