Enough about about Health Care reform. What do you think about Health Insurance <\/em>Reform?<\/p>\n Obama reminds me of the guy that says<\/p>\n “Enough talk about me. What do you <\/em>think about me?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n There are many and several ways America has expressed it’s disapproval of reform of health care reform via an ever-expanding liberal government growth plan.<\/p>\n It’s been three weeks since Massachusetts voters elected Scott Brown to the Senate<\/a>, in large part because of his opposition to the health care confusion Democrats have sown. It’s been even longer since Americans at tea parties and lawmakers’ town hall meetings plainly told Washington they wanted no part of the health care elixir that Congress was peddling.<\/p>\n Still, our political elites, impressed by their own intellects, insist that the public will get the health care system they want the public to have, not the health care the public wants.<\/p>\n This was confirmed by the president when he told Couric he would not throw out the proposals that are stalled in Congress and start over, even though public opinion (see chart) strongly indicates that he should.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Everyone’s heard the message loud and clear save one man.<\/p>\n Unfortunately he happens to be the President of the United States.<\/p>\n “Just in case there’s any confusion out there<\/a>, let me be clear,” Obama said. “I am not going to walk away from health insurance reform.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n You see what he did there? He smuggled the word insurance into his monologue. Make no mistake, a man of words, and only words, chooses them wisely. Also of note, Jimmy II also threw in his signature and so very very tired “let me be clear,<\/a>” mantra; a sure sign he intends on being anything but.<\/p>\n America cares about jobs and the economy at the moment and for the time being the majority are satisfied with their health care and are dissatisfied with the size of their government. Obama is increasingly making himself an island on both fronts.<\/p>\n There was immediate skepticism from Mr. Obama’s own party<\/a> that the forum would break the impasse. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D., Md.) said he had reached out to Republicans “on several occasions” last year to seek their ideas and feedback. “I was, however, disappointed that these meetings did not result in any serious follow-through to work together in a bipartisan fashion,” he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n So, it’s the Republicans’ fault that health care reform is pushing up daisies?<\/p>\n House Minority Leader John Boehner (R., Ohio) said he welcomed the outreach. “Obviously, I am pleased that the White House finally seems interested in a real, bipartisan conversation on health care,” he said in a statement. “The problem with the Democrats’ health-care bills is not that the American people don’t understand them; the American people do understand them, and they don’t like them.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n At least someone’s<\/em> listening.<\/p>\n Tangent warning!<\/p>\n Riddle me this: if you could remotely control the President and somehow direct his actions to further derail his Presidency, and really light up Americans who are quickly growing angry at their government’s expansion into issues no one believes in or cares about, what might you do?<\/p>\n This?<\/p>\n
