It’s almost like Scott Brown was never elected. Every day brings a new speech or pep talk from Obama about the need to pass Obamacare, and that he is not giving up on Obamacare, blah, blah, blah. It occurred to me that BH Obama is acting just like GW Bush was when the insurgency in Iraq was ascendant – in denial of reality.
Prior to the surge, Iraq was a hopeless quagmire and public opinion had turned against the war. Yet George W and his administration continued to sputter that it was hard work, but that the insurgency was in its death throes, blah, blah, blah.
The centerpiece of Scott Brown’s campaign, in arguably one of the most liberal, oops I mean progressive, states in the nation was that he would be the vote to stop Obamacare. Barack, my friend, if you can’t sell Obamacare in the Bay State, it’s not going to sell anywhere. Yet just like Bush, Obama continues to sputter the same bromides.
I guess BHO’s ego is so big that he really believes that he can turn public opinion on Obamacare through the grace and majesty of his oratory. Notwithstanding that he gave around, I believe, 30 speeches on Obamacare prior to the Scott Brown election and arguably the effect of all that bloviating was the Scott heard around the world.
Denial. Of a magnitude on par with GWB’s.
