SocraticGadfly: Why does Obama play defense on healthcare?

July 22, 2009

Why does Obama play defense on healthcare?

Per his speech tonight, instead of making claims, whether true or not, about what his healthcare legislation would do (and ignoring the issue that, really, none of the bills in the House or Senate are “his” because he’s been passive to passive-aggressive on the issue in details), ATTACK!

If you, or House or Senate Dems, really do support “public option,” you will NEVER get the insurance industry behind the bill. So, stop trying.

Otherwise, you’ve bribed Big Pharma and the AMA enough, so get the whip cracking.

That said, the AP story claims Obama “blames Democrats” after saying he wouldn’t. Apparently South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint and his “Waterloo for Obama” don’t exist in this writer’s world.
