Editorial: “Mr. Obama was right to press for health care reform. But he spent too much time talking to reluctant Democrats and Republicans who never had the slightest intention of supporting him. He sat on the sidelines while the Republicans bombarded Americans with false but effective talk of death panels and a government takeover of their doctors’ offices. And he did not make the case strongly enough that the health care system and the economy are deeply interconnected or explain why Americans should care about this huge issue in the midst of a recession: If they lose their jobs, they lose their health insurance.”
WATCHDOG: A wag of the tail!
In other words, the President of the United States spent far too much time trying to be inclusive and bipartisan, unlike his predecessor.
To the current occupant, inclusive and bipartisan means, “I’ll appear to listen for a while, and then we’ll do it the socialist way no matter what you may have to say.”
