Beating a Dead Horse… House Minority Leader Boehner Says He Believes ObamaCare Is Dead
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on September 21, 2009
Did you watch all of, or even some of, Obama’s multiple appearances pushing ObamaCare on Sunday morning talk shows?
I didn’t, either.
Once you’ve seen one overhyped Obama “Socialized Health Care Is Great” Show, you’ve seen ‘em all…
From CNSNews, Boehner Says Democrat Health Care Plan Is Dead:
House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Sunday that the health-care plan that President Barack Obama is pushing in Congress is now dead and will not pass.
Boehner made the observation in an interview this morning on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” where he appeared after President Obama.
“There’s been no bipartisan conversation on Capitol Hill about health care,” Boehner said in an interview with “Meet the Press” host David Gregory. “At some point when these big government plans fail—and they will, the Congress will not pass this—it’s really time for the president to hit the reset button, just stop all of this and let’s sit down and start over in a bipartisan way to build a plan that Americans will support.”
“So you think the plan is dead?” asked Gregory.
“I think it is,” said Boehner.
Earlier in the program, President Obama had said that news coverage of the health care debate over the past week had been dominated not by “the sensible people” but by people stoking controversy.
In his own appearance, Boehner rejected the contention that the “tone” of the debate over health-care reform had gotten out of control, saying instead that it has been a “spirited” debate and that more Americans had been engaged in debating health-care reform than had been engaged in debating any issue in decades.
“I mean, let’s face it,” Obama told host David Gregory. “If you look at the news cycle over the last–over the last week–you know, it—it–it hasn’t been the–the sensible people who, you know, very deliberately talk about the important issues that we face as a country. That’s not the folks who’ve gotten a lot of coverage.”
Despite former president Jimmy Carter’s audacious assertion that those who oppose socialized health care are racists, more Americans are against ObamaCare than are for it. And those numbers are steadily growing.
