The same healthcare that will become exponentially more expensive if available at all under Obama\u2019s plan.<\/p>\n<p>The original house bill is dead on arrival; the latest Senate version is a black hole of taxes and restrictive regulation.  The Progressives swear to block anything short of a public option and the Blue Dogs vow to block anything close to a public option.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t a crisis for the American people but it is certainly a crisis for the Democrat party and naturally it is 100% one of their own making.  Pelosi is crumbling because she knows she can\u2019t bring a nationalized system home to San Francisco and Harry Ried is already on record against even the greatly diluted current Senate Bill.<\/p>\n<p>All that said, the real crisis is the pressure on Obama.  Most Presidents start looking at their legacy in their second term not in their first 9 months but then again most Presidents didn\u2019t write two autobiographies before they had accomplished anything more valuable than a boot full of piss.<\/p>\n<p>Everytime Obama says \u201cthis isn\u2019t about me\u201d just reinforces how much it is truly about him.<\/p>\n<p>Obama is a far left Socialist at heart and the economy will always suffer under such policies.  He is not a war President and obviously doesn\u2019t want to be.  He is beginning to be exposed correctly as weak on foreign policy at least certainly in places like Poland and the Czech Republic.  <\/p>\n<p>Cap and Trade was never much more than a scheme to suck up to the enviro-wackos and make friends like Al Gore insanely wealthy.  Obama won\u2019t fight hard for it because there isn\u2019t anything in it for him.<\/p>\n<p>Nationalizing healthcare allows him to put a stamp on history.  Far more important than the history of the United States is his view of the history of Barack Obama.<\/p>\n<p>Obama knows that he will lose seats next year and possibly enough to cripple his administration\u2019s radical agenda.  It\u2019s now or never for Obama to leave his mark.<\/p>\n<p>And honestly that isn\u2019t looking even as salvagable as Jimmy Carter right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The easiest way to tell a political figure is in freefall is when he creates generational &hellip; <a title=\"Desperation is Always Cloaked in Manufactured Crisis\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=14452\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Desperation is Always Cloaked in Manufactured Crisis<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":64,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14452","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14452","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/64"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14452"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14452\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14452"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=14452"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=14452"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
