Looks Like Maybe Obama Can’t

DeathCare may be dead. How appropriate.

Obama admits health care overhaul may die on Hill

No, maybe he can’t. President Barack Obama, who insisted he would succeed where other presidents had failed to fix the nation’s health care system, now concedes the effort may die in Congress.

The president’s newly conflicting signals could frustrate Democratic lawmakers who are hungry for guidance from the White House as they try to salvage the effort to extend coverage to millions of uninsured Americans and hold down spiraling medical costs. Obama’s comments Thursday night came hours after Republican Scott Brown was sworn in to replace the late Edward M. Kennedy, leaving Democrats without their filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, and Obama’s signature health legislation with no clear path forward…

“And it may be that … if Congress decides we’re not going to do it, even after all the facts are laid out, all the options are clear, then the American people can make a judgment as to whether this Congress has done the right thing for them or not,” the president said. “And that’s how democracy works. There will be elections coming up, and they’ll be able to make a determination and register their concerns.”

That’s right Dumb Bastard, and then you get fired. The ironic thing here is, Urkel knows he’s got another three years no matter how much he screws up. That little message about voters “register[ing] their concerns” was a not so subtle slap at state Democrats at risk in November. The problem is, of course, the damage was already done–when they were carrying Dumb Bastard’s water last year.
