Obama Team Cries To Politico About Losing The Health Care Debate

September 9, 2009 · Filed Under Barack Obama, Politics

From reading Politico this morning it seems like the Obama administration is all out of ideas. They hope to play the Obama card by trotting out the president to bloviate once again about why the American people should buy what he’s selling.

Politico laments the fact that Obama hasn’t been the post-partisan president so many people hoped he would be. It’s not that he hasn’t tried, but that darn “right-wing noise machine” just won’t let him!

The idea of a “post-partisan” president who’s soaring rhetoric brings people together was always a myth. What the president and his allies don’t seem to understand is that messaging is not their problem. Reframing the debate is not their problem. The policies themselves are the problem.

The American people reject the kind of far-left agenda this administration is trying to push. They don’t like the outrageous spending, the Communist czars, the CIA investigations, the government takeovers, and they damn sure don’t want a government run health care plan.

No amount of speech-making or campaigning is going to change that. No amount of television ads, SEIU intimidation, ACORN fraud, or story omissions by the mainstream media is going to change that.

What Obama needs to do is do what Clinton did and come back to the center politically. He needs to stick a hood over Nancy “Stretch” Pelosi’s head and stick her in a closet somewhere.

The Obama administration thought their historic victory came with a mandate for a radical leftist agenda. They thought wrong.
