I think Obama was deluded by his Chicago/Illinois political/advocate career. If you wanted something done in that climate, by freakin’ golly YOU GOT IT. The only trick was to have a fall guy picked out well in advance if someone had the guts to reveal HOW you got it done. Now he appears to be shell-shocked to discover that’s NOT how every other politican he has to work with gets things done. He’s lost, but has yet to give up the Chicago-way and start working the Washington-way. So, no, he’s not acting “Presidential” at the moment.

[...] Rick Moran argues that “Obamacare” is floundering because Obama is taking his leadership cues from Jimmy Carter. This president apparently doesn’t know how to govern. He has handed responsibility for getting this bill passed to Pelosi and Reid while he stands on the sidelines kibitzing. [...]

whatever you do don’t give up fighting this Obamacare. Call and email your congressmen again this week. It is a bad bill. A horrible bill. But they will try and pass it if now one is watching them

Wow, writing Obama’s obituary 6 months in. I guess the “wag the dog” attacks against Obama is a good way to avoid the Mark Sanford, John Ensign and the Sarah “I quit” Palin scandals. When the dinosaurs of the gop are out of ideas, I guess they go back to Rove’s playbook of attacking the Dems 24/7. Everyone knows the healthcare situation is out of control, but when Obama tries to tackle it, suddenly he’s Jimmy Carter….yeah right. Keep on under estimating him Rick, just like Hillary Clinton and John McCain did. He’ll outsmart you guys, just like he did with those two. The progressive movement is still out here, were not going away, our numbers are large, and we don’t sit around waiting for change, we demand it and fight for it and give money towards it. The gop is dead, intellectually and number wise, attacks on Obama do not change that facts. If the gop leadership has nothing to say constructively, they should just shutup. This healthcare fight is just beginning, stay tuned.

The quality of your comments are so far below others on this site, I wonder what kind of arrogance you possess that you don’t see what a fool you make of yourself.

You know little of politics, less of policy, and nothing of the ways of Washington. You mouth Democratic talking points not even understanding them.

This is a political analysis, much of which comes from Democratic lawmakers themselves if you bothered to read the post. Or perhaps you have trouble reading. And if you can’t see the gigantic alteration of the relationship between the citizen and government implied by this bill, then you reveal yourself to be an ignoramus. Opposing such a change - especially when there are alternatives that you fail to acknowledge - is rational, reasoned political activity.

Please go somewhere else and spout your talking points. You drag down the quality of comments whenever you scribble something inane like above.

Obama: Even the Left is Starting to Notice the Comparisons to Jimmy Carter…

When The State Run Media™ starts comparing you (in the most-unflattering of ways possible) to the laughing-stock Presidency of Jimmy Carter…well, maybe you really are the pathetic of a President…

I’d be happy as heck if this were dead in the water, but I don’t believe it is. A loss here will be crippling for Obama. He is not going to let this slip away. Reid and Pelosi will put out the fires like they always do — with threats and graft. This little break just gives Obama and the media more time to sell it, and more time to trot out the sob stories. Obama WILL get his nationalized health care. I have no doubt about it. They simply do not need any GOP support at all to pass it.
