Obama Desperately Trying to Close on Health Care

The debate is dragging on, and President Obama's not better for the wear.

Obama's rehashing his insurance company demonization schtick from last summer, but reports that the deficit's coming in at $1.4 trillion aren't helping. (The deficit's now the highest ever as a percentage of GDP since WWII.)

But check Karl Rove as well, "
Obama Hasn't Closed the Health-Care Sale: Wait Until the Voters Figure Out How Congress is Proposing to Pay for Reform:

Mr. Obama's problem is that his Magic Kingdom Health Care World is colliding with reality. There is a big cost to any large government expansion—and the ways to cover the cost of Mr. Obama's plan are limited, unpopular, and sure to anger Americans once they are fully understood.

"Desperately"-- right. You're the only desperate one. You know Democrats are winning, but you think if you keep denying reality, it will bend to your will. Sorry, doesn't work that way. Conservatives will keep losing as long as they keep showing contempt toward reality.

Richard and Karin,

Enjoy it whilst you can, comrades, as I suspect your mutual Obamagasm is going to be decidedly short-lived.

Count on it.
