Chicago Politics: White House Will Politicize Potential Supreme Court Ruling Against Obamacare;
Breitbart ^ | 6/12/12 | Tony Lee

Posted on 06/12/2012 11:14:29 AM PDT by Nachum

Team Obama did everything they could to get the unpopular Obamacare bill passed, even though the president's party controlled Congress. This included cutting deals with the drug industry that reeked of cronyism and Democrats insinuating that conservatives and Tea Partiers who were opposed to Obamacare were racists.

And now, as Obamacare has become more unpopular the more people learn about its various provisions and may be ruled to be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, Team Obama still seems to know nothing but politicization.

In a piece in the New Yorker about what the Obama administration's agenda in a potential second term would be, reporter Ryan Lizza quotes a former Obama aide who reveals to him how the White House intends to politicize Obamacare should the Supreme Court find it, or parts of it, to be unconstitutional:

Whether the Supreme Court overturns the law in part or in full, the White House will need to respond publicly. “The strategy is to just go on the offensive and say, ‘Look at Citizens United, look at the health-care decision, look at Bush v. Gore,” the former aide said. “We have an out-of-control activist court, and Romney will make it worse. That’s Plan A. Plan B is nothing.”

I think in the past, the major rulings come down just before recess which would be toward the end of the month.

Let his excellency continue to push this junk legislation, in fact, give him all the time he wants on the TV to tell us how great a bill it was......65 to 35 against was the last poll. The more his excellency embrasses this pipe dream, the better. Let it take him down.

Please, Barry, please keep digging that hole.

If it gets deep enough we will no longer hear your annoying sing-song lecturing, hectoring voice.

OMG will I be happy to see him go. Away. Anywhere.

NO...
The strategy will be to roll out unassailable victim after unassailable victim, on every TV show, everywhere, screaming “HOW COULD THE REPUBLICANS DO THIS TO ME!!!!”

This has been discussed in great detail on Daily Kos over the last couple of months.

The question is, are the Sheeple stoopid enough to swallow it?

I don’t think the people are THAT stupid anymore on this matter. The polls indicate the people of this country have awakened to the Obamacare matter, analyzed it, and don’t want it, and more, and more are learning of it, awakening to the dangers present with it, and joining with their fellow Americans in their disfavor of it.

It’s NOT that far to November, and the numbers aren’t in Obama, and the Democrats favor. It will take one “H” of a misfortune for this country to see Obama still in that office after January of next year.

“Pretty much no matter what happens, it will be portrayed as a great political victory for Obama.”

And pretty much the only people who will believe that BS are the people who wrote it.
