The arrogance of Obama, the liberals and progressives was on display for all to see.
Americans are fed up with Obama and the Dems, and this "summit" further reveals how deaf they are to the "will of the people!"
It is blindingly obvious that Obama still believes all he need do is stay in campaign mode for this "bogus reform" and continue to tell America what they think and all will be well in Obama Socialist Land.
Ryan, Pence, Coburn, Brasso, even McCain and a few others did an excellent job.
We were amazed that Obama differed with Sen. McConnell when Sen. McConnell said approximately. "We've been talking for a while now and the Republicans have spoken for 27 minutes and the Democrats for 56".
Mr. Obama, immediately felt the need to defend with, "uh, I don't think that's right."
Well of course not Sir, ... that was you talking, stalling and falling, again and again.
You know Hillary had to be watching from her State Department office laughing her ass off!
We'd put our pay checks on that one.
Only an ideologue, categorically convinced of the superiority and righteousness of Obama's cause, can be so unabashedly angry that his agenda has been decisively, if temporarily, thwarted by the will of the people.
Unfortunately, retrenchment is one of the principal instinctive reflexes, integral to the arsenal of survival strategies for a hardcore ideologue "sympathetic toward the general aims of Marxian socialism."
The contempt for "we the people" which he exhibited and articulated during the campaign and validated at the State of the Union can propel him to let his ideology determine the vector of his policies regardless of the consequences to the United States Citizens of America.
It becomes more and more evident every day that the Radical Left Obama Administration is absolutely disconnected from reality.
They just don't get it!
They plow ahead trashing the Constitution and stomping down on the backs of the necks of every citizen with every step.
The measures of Obama's failure yesterday include: 1) The Dems still own the reform 100% 2) Sweeping health care reform is still a need only in the heads of Democrats. From the outset 80% of us were generally satisfied with our health care. We still are. 3) The Dems still have not arrived at a solid figure on the number of "uninsured." As we recall Obama used the figure 30 million yesterday. That number has been up, down and sideways for at least a year now. It is fundamental because if you can't define a problem you cannot solve it. 4) The Dems are still playing the "emergency, crisis cards."
Think about this:
If you are having a heart attack, the only apparent bipartisan thing to happen recently. you don't call for medical help to come four years or more from now while you write checks for the ambulance, EMT, defibrillator, nitroglycerin pills and etc. Everything is NOT a crisis or emergency as Obama, Reid, Pelosi and their minions have claimed for over a year now. 5) A central argument of the Dems is that this government program will lower the deficit. That does not meet any common sense test. That theory simply does not fly. Anyone who believes that is simply plain stupid or so used to lying to themselves it has become easy for them to do so. 6) Threat is a persuasive technique but in par with waterboarding. Obama, as his habit, ended up yesterday threatening.
In essence he said either say we agree in a bipartisan way or we will ram this down your throats!
He then noted correctly that's why we have elections.
We all have sad stories of one kind or another, like losing one-half of our billion dollars in the stock market.
We are still trying to figure out how employer-provided health care can help people who don't have jobs!
Obama and his clearly have the cart before the donkey on that one.
This is the real world, Obama. This is NOT the Far Left Bubble you were raised and trained in. This is not the back streets of Chicago where your dreamland agenda was followed lavishly.
You can bet your last dollar that Obama will deploy all the tools at his disposal to get ObamaCare enacted into law.
Should this sleazy bunch succeed in ramming through this horror show of legislation, the public furor will include demanding immediate repeal.
This, of course, after voting out everyone who has a hand in passing this monstrosity.
Our final thought:
If we were Senator Evan Bayh, this would be our postition. We would march into Obama's office and tell him: I do not have the medical care expertise to effectively manage a single health clinic, much less than entire medical industry in the United States. What we do have the experetise in the Senate to do however is to roll-back many of the laws, regulations and restrictions that were put in place by prior politicians who also had "plans" for running things they knew absolutely nothing about - that are the primary causes of most of the problems with medical care today. That's what we can and should do...Mr. President!
And...
"the citizens of Indiana don't want bigger government, they want smaller government!"
