I think David Plouffe is getting all wee-weed up.
The Wall Street Journal: Even as President Obama makes a show of political modesty after losing Massachusetts, Congressional leaders are trying to rekindle the cinders left among the health-care ashes. Plan B still seems to be to dragoon enough panicking House Democrats into passing the Senate’s Christmas Eve bill, and to that end the White House reactivated campaign manager David Plouffe over the weekend.
“No bed-wetting,” Mr. Plouffe declared in a Washington Post op-ed. As a call to arms this leaves something to be desired, though it does suggest the political unreality that still prevails among Democratic leaders.
While I agree, adults probably shouldn’t be wetting the bed, the Democrats should be concerned.
A new poll released yesterday by the Pew Research Center on the public’s priorities reveals the real reasons ObamaCare is in intensive care. Jobs and rehabilitating the economy understandably top the list, with 81% and 83% of voters rating these as a “top priority.” Reducing health-care costs (57%) fell from 69% in 2008, and is now behind terrorism (80%), education (65%), deficit reduction (60%) and even Medicare (63%) and Social Security (66%).
Our guess is that this decline is because Democrats have tipped their hand in the last year about how they plan to reduce those costs via ObamaCare—namely through central planning and price controls that would limit access to care. Meanwhile, health insurance reform clocked in at 49%, which at least makes it far more popular than the Administration’s cap-and-tax global-warming agenda. A mere 28% ranked climate change as a political priority.
Some things are worth getting “wee-weed up” about.
The only thing I would ask my fellow Americans is to stop asking Obama to do something about the economy. As we can see, the more he does the worse it gets.
Haha! to your statement: “The only thing I would ask my fellow Americans is to stop asking Obama to do something about the economy. As we can see, the more he does the worse it gets.”
Absolutely agree! Actually, if the Lord would stop the Democrats in their tracks and enable them to legislate nothing but regular housekeeping duties and Congressional hearings, it would be a conservative’s dream world.
