That didn't take long

Just a few days back, the Obama administration lofted a trial balloon announcing that the public option was no longer the necessary centerpiece of the health care plan. After a furious response from the leftist fringe of the Obamacrats, we now hear the contrary: according to today's New York Times, the Obamacrats are going to ignore the Republicans and pass health care totally on their own -- and it is going to include a public option. While anyone who takes reports in the Times as being accurate or even unbiased does so at his own peril, it is unlikely that a front page story like this is a total fantasy. The story is certainly funny -- according to the Times it is front page news that the Obamacrats are ignoring the Republicans. I guess that the Times has forgotten how the Obamacrats ignored the GOP onthe Stimulus, the budget, cap and trade in the House and other bills.

The truth is that the real meaning of the article is that the obamacrats are going to ignore those Americans who were out protesting and speaking up at August's town hall meetings. These fascist (according to Barney Frank), unamerican (Pelosi-speak), racist (according to a whole host of Dems) hooligans (many of whom were in their 79's and 80's) cannot be credited in any way. The obamacrats have to carry out their plans for National Health care even if the American people do not want that to happen. The new slogan for the Obamacrats should be "Democracy is irrelevant".

Since the big O actually believes that he has answers to many problems facing this country, it does not surprise me that he still wants to go ahead despite the clear desire of the people for him to stop. One only need look at the large numbers of polls that all show a lack of support for Obamacare in order to see how the public feels. Even after weeks of demonizing those who would dare to speak out on the issue, Obama's poll numbers continue to tank.

I only hope that people keep up their protests until the health care bill is killed and that they remember in November 2010 that the obamacrats think that anyone who disagrees with them is a fascist, unamerican, racist hooligan. Hopefully, the fascist, racist, unamerican hooligans will vote out the pompous, self deluded, socialist fools who refuse to accept the basic freedoms of American citizens. Time will tell.
