"Who, Me? An Idealogue?"

Obama Sound Bite of the Day

"You can’t structure a bill where suddenly 30 million people have coverage and it costs nothing."

Ya think?

Excerpt:

"Now that the President of the United States has acknowledged that the CBO’s cost estimates are incomplete, could we maybe get a complete cost estimate? Maybe just for the Senate bill?"

Nah......that's too much to ask.

Here's the reality about "health care reform" that most people don't (or in the case of the politically/socially, and economically alternately clued, can't) understand:

"Trend? WHAT trend? There's no trend!"

...so say the Usual Suspects, despite the obvious message sent by the public.

But now they can't ignore it.




Approve: 47.6%

DISAPPROVE: 49.1%

And, as well we know, the huge double digit plus margin for the "strongly disaprove" category has existed for quite some time now.

Bottom line? The dems/Lefties/"Progressives" can't continue to cover up the failed Obama presidency much longer.

And it's going to get worse:

"Ruth Marcus explains: 'So can a chastened Obama regain the lost sense of excitement and opportunity? Eventually, perhaps, but never entirely. The second time is never as thrilling.'

Especially when the thrill was based on cotton-candy rhetoric and a blank slate onto which Obama told us we were projecting our hopes and dreams. If there is no there there, then the thrill is not likely to return."

We've had enough

Let's see how long they continue to pretend this doesn't exist.

"If the election were held today, we'd lose the House,"

....says Democrat campaign consultant Tom King.

And, of course, it's all Scott Rasmussen's fault!

Noteworthy:

"That messenger (Rasmussen)is clearly becoming a
force in politics, partly by polling more regularly and intensively than other companies such as Gallup. Pollster and blogger Mark Blumenthal says that in 2009 Rasmussen became the most searched-for polling firm on the Internet. It also apparently has become the No. 1 target for people who don't like its findings."


Goodness gracious! We don't know anyone like that in the local blahgosphere, do we?

The trend in Medicare

This sort of thing will become much more common as time goes by.

Noteworthy:

"Medicare typically pays doctors lower rates than private insurance companies. That makes some docs reluctant to accept Medicare patients, and can sometimes make it hard for Medicare patients to find primary care. Medicare covers about half the cost of a primary care visit at Mayo, while private insurance typically covers the whole cost, according to Yardley."

The situation will get worse for seniors under the Obamanation......MUCH worse.

Remember "if you like your health care now, you can keep it" promise made in support of health care "reform"?

Yeah, right.

The Long Jump



I used to do stuff like this, too.

Accidentally, not on purpose.
