Obama's Healthcare Fiasco Making Him Sick
Andrea Tantaros ^ | July 25, 2009 | Andrea Tantaros

If President Obama thought fighting Republicans was tough, he’s learning real fast that battling with his own party isn’t exactly a good time. As many of his former colleagues in the US Senate and the House voice outrage and opposition to his push for universal healthcare, the man once deemed “untouchable” currently finds himself in the political battle of his life.

And he’s losing. His own party is running ads to press Democratic senators from Arkansas, Indiana, Florida, Louisiana, North Dakota, Nebraska and Ohio. If Obama cannot get socialized medicine passed with a filibuster proof majority in the Senate, his political capital will tank and he’ll look extremely flaccid. Congress won’t have any reason to listen to him going forward and he’ll risk being perceived as a lame duck. He'll be relegated to policy proposals like school uniforms and midnight basketball.

Say what you want about George Bush, the guy got things done in his first term and lead. From education reform to Medicare Part D to his tax cuts, Bush signed his agenda into law despite congressional gridlock. Agree or disagree, that’s not a weak Commander-in-Chief.

Obama is just the opposite.

The President has showcased an appalling lack of leadership. He has sent no bill to the Hill. He takes no specific positions on the five bills in the House and Senate. All he has done thus far is give flowery calls to action. Either he thinks he is still a Senator or he is Chauncey Gardner.

I'm not ready to schadenfreude in advance quite yet but I'm starting to think it may be a possibility some day.

I find that somewhat comforting.

At least Chauncey could do something.

Or, this is what Obama wanted all along - to destroy America by any means.

"he’ll look extremely flaccid"
Nice turn of phrase. The images it conjures up, however.....

While he could care less about the voters and America, there are re-elections coming and those involved are hearing the total anger with HIS plan that is all about HIM and will not chance losing what could become a lifetime job for them verses a maximum 8 years for him.

The writer fails to note that Obama’s power is STRICTLY given him by the media, for the media, and solely with the consent of the media - for as long as the media shall hold forth on this land the power of the media ....

Pelosi’s power is equally granted by the media - because her dictatorship cannot stand real scrutiny of real reporting.

I agree donna! I believe thats what he set out to do from day 1. He’s had a chip on his shoulder the size of Texas...& now that he manipulated his way into office, now he can exact his revenge on a country he has always hated.

This is slightly (well, utterly) off topic, but I can't get this song out of my head when I hear "Waterloo."
