that voting for Obama care was the secret to winning the 2010 midterms.

That’s my immediate reaction to this.
Key White House allies are dramatically shifting their attempts to defend health care legislation, abandoning claims that it will reduce costs and deficit, and instead stressing a promise to “improve it.”
The messaging shift was circulated this afternoon on a conference call and PowerPoint presentation organized by FamiliesUSA — one of the central groups in the push for the initial legislation…The confidential presentation, available in full here and provided to POLITICO by a source on the call, suggests that Democrats are acknowledging the failure of their predictions that the health care legislation would grow more popular after its passage, as its benefits became clear and rhetoric cooled. Instead, the presentation is designed to win over a skeptical public, and to defend the legislation — and in particular the individual mandate — from a push for repeal.
Very different from the old days, isn’t it?
“If Republicans want to campaign against what we’ve done… that is a fight I want to have.” – Barack Obama on health care, Jan. 14.
Mr. Obama couldn’t close an umbrella.
The American public expects that a president should have some baseline of competence.
Where is the competence with this man? It is non-existent.
Mr. Obama believes in nothing but more government.
He loathes the private sector.
And many of the folks who voted for him thought he was a moderate. Hah! What a bill of goods that was.
This is great(thanks for this post) . Turns out Bill Clinton was wrong when he told congressional democrats that voting for Obama care was the secret to winning the 2010 midterms. Here is the link to the presentation on how to sell health care reform when it is it is very unpopular(it actually admits that) :
Research Findings: Implementing Health Reform: A communications perspective
It specifically says what to tell non-college educated women, latinos, voters under 40 and seniors. It says to keep the messages simple. It says NOT to claim the law reduces cost and deficit
LOL. Hadn’t thought of that. Must be my inherent evil whiteness... ;-)
Hey, it’s kinda fun to get behind the eyes of the “everything is racist” mindset.
And, it’s even more fun to mock them.
"The Herndon Alliance, which presented the research, is a low-profile group that coordinated liberal messaging in favor of the public option in health care. Its "partners" include health care legislation's heavyweight supporters: AARP, AFL-CIO, SEIU, Health Care for America Now, MoveOn and the National Council of La Raza, among many others."
Obama is a Christian and I am a six four, 265 pound member of the Lollypop guild.
Guess so ;-)
Like someone claiming to be a vegetarian while eating steak for every meal.
” It specifically says what to tell non-college educated women, latinos, voters under 40 and seniors. It says to keep the messages simple. It says NOT to claim the law reduces cost and deficit “
The Republicans should use this, because it would be affective, so they won’t.
Racist! Since when is a mechanical device racist? (Yeah, I know, you are making a humorous point)
Of course he is a Christian, but is he an American?

He grew up “bereft of many of the basic building blocks of a true American personality and worldview”.
This was the core statement in an IBD editorial today.
They said that they had to pass it to find out what was in it. Now that we know what they voted for, and we have shown them that we know it was a terrible bill, they’re asking for a chance to fix that monstrosity instead of repealing, starting over, and actually reading it before they sign next time.
That was the plan all along. Now they can institute the public option. See since the plan is waaaaay to costly this way then we can say well now it will be cheaper for the government to just run Healthcare and it will be free to the poor people.
Sports keeps the sheeple in line.
I am so FIRED UP! Let’s roll into November !
