President Obama: Back to Square One on Health Care
Maybe it's time for another speech! It appears that the president has fallen back to where he started on health care. According to Rasmussen Reports:
One week after President Obama's speech to Congress, opposition to his health care reform plan has reached a new high of 55%. The latest Rasmussen Reports daily tracking poll shows that just 42% now support the plan, matching the low first reached in August.
A week ago, 44% supported the proposal and 53% were opposed. Following the speech last Wednesday night intended to relaunch the health care initiative, support for the president's effort bounced as high as 51% (see day-by-day numbers). But the new numbers suggest that support for health care reform is now about the same as it was in August.
It turns out that it is not enough to be able to give a good speech. You need good substance as well. And that the president lacks--unless you think turning medicine over to the Feds is a good idea, which most Americans obviously don't.

What is the purpose of so called "healthcare reform"? Answer: Empower the political class. Period.
Our Big Eared Chief is a card carrying socialist, no question. It's his worldview that's the problem. An anti-American, anti-liberty agenda of the academic elite, that he barely qualifies for.
Almost 90% of Americans have health insurance. Over 80% are satisfied with their health insurance. Is there room for improvement? Sure, there always is in everthing human beings do.
Do Americans want more government in healthcare (or in anything else)? No they do not. But B. Hussein doesnt' get that. It's not in his worldview.
Barry O. is a joke.

It's not about Heath Care or reform. It's about control.

The President is like Wile E. Coyote on this one. Yes, he keeps getting blown up or squashed, but he is right back at it in the next scene. He's not going to quit.
Maybe a giant magnet and some steel shot disguised as birdseed...

The Healthcare debate is no longer about what is
the best way to reform the system. It is all about
Obama failing. Narcissists cannot handle failure.
Thus, the effort to get O in front of a TV Camera
and an adoring audience every day. He is one
sick puppy and that is scary for all of us.
Has he spent a day in the Oval Office the past
three months? Am.Spectator is one of my few
sources of truthful news and commentary.
Thank You very much .
