Family Security Matters » Publications » Weariness and Desperation in Health Care Debate: "The health care debate has descended into a fiasco, draining President Obama of his high approval ratings, angering his base, polarizing the country, damaging his credibility, along with that of the Democrati-led Congress. South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint’s characterization of this turning out to be Obama’s Waterloo is looking more and more prescient. Obama’s push for health care reform is on life support, along with a cap-and-trade bill unlikely to pass in the Senate, and a deal between Israel and the Palestinians that seems farther away from reality than even in recent years. And despite Obama’s attempt to change their behavior by treating them differently, there is no indication that Iran or North Korea has any intentions of giving up their nuclear weapons programs, nor Iran’s support for terrorist organizations to recede."

President Obama and his pals in the media are growing ever more desperate. The MSNBC line-up is doing its best to discredit the opposition to the Democrats’ ideas for health care reform, but even they may have their limits to their obsequiousness to Obama.
