King Hussein, In typical Chicago Machine political fashion, passed the blame of stalled socialized medicine legislation on the GOP. Obama blasted the "familiar script" of Republicans who "have openly declared their intention to block healthcare reform."
"Republicans have lambasted Democrats’ efforts to pass healthcare reform, but they have noted that with comfortable majorities in both chambers and control of the White House, Democrats have the ability to pass their legislation." A prime example of this is the stimulas package. It passed with no GOP support.
One problem for Democratic leaders is that blue dog Democrats have balked at what has been proposed, threatening to reject the bills if they are brought to the House and Senate floors. This is because with each passing day, more Americans are contacting Senators and Congressmen, stating their displeasure with the bill.
Another problem is what's in the actual legislation itself. "Here’s the truth, brand-new analysis from The Heritage Foundation — conducted by The Lewin Group — shows that the public-plan component within the House Democrats’ health reform bill is in conflict with how the Congress and the President are selling their reform plan." So for the public option to work, the private option has to be removed from the playing field, a classic Alinsky tactic.
Blaming Republicans for the healthcare stall is smoke and mirrors. It's just a cover-up for his ineffective leadership. He can't get all the people in his own party to support it. Next is Obama wanting this done quick, fast, and in a hurry, before August recess. Could it be because he doesn't want Americans to know what's really in the bill? Also throw in legislation authored by radical leftists, and American citizens fighting it by contacting politicians and telling them to vote no or be kicked out of office, and you have a backlash. If the president keeps pushing this, it will be the first of many. (HT Heritage Foundation, National Review & The Hill):
