- MOST PEOPLE LIKE THEIR INSURANCE AND HEALTH CARE;
- THEY JUST WANT IT TINKERED WITH A LITTLE TO HELP THE HAVE-NOTS AND REMOVE SOME RISK.
- OBAMACARE IS NOT SEEN AS A LITTLE HELP;
- IT'S SEEN AS WHAT IT IS:
- A HUGE POWER GRAB BY POLITICIANS AND THEIR COMRADES -
- ONE THAT COMES WITH A HUGE PRICE TAG.
- WHY DID OBAMA STUMBLE SO BADLY?
- SIMPLE:
- OBAMA SHOULD HAVE USED THE EXPANSION OF THE S-CHIP PROGRAM AS HIS MODEL,
- BUT HE AND HIS COMRADES IN THE WHITE HOUSE WERE WAY TOO GRANDIOSE TO SETTLE FOR THAT TYPE OF INCREMENTALISM.
- AND THEY THOUGHT CONGRESS WOULD SPREAD ITS LEGS, ROLL OVER AND BENDOVER.
- CONGRESS HASN'T YET, AND WITH THE PUBLIC GETTING UN-DUPIFIED, IT SEEMS CONGRESS WON'T.
- OBAMA HAS MET HIS WATERLOO.
- CLINTON'S PRESIDENCY RECOVERED FROM GAYS IN THE MILITARY AND FROM HILLARYCARE.
- OBAMA MIGHT COME BACK, TOO - BUT I DOUBT IT:
- OBAMA IS NOT AS SEASONED A POLITICIAN AS BJ CLINTON WAS:
- BJ HAD RUN IN A DOZEN STATEWIDE CONTESTS IN ARKANSAS AND KNEW FIRST HAND WHAT HE HAD TO DO IN ORDER TO SURVIVE POLITICAL TREACHERY.
- AND HE DID WHATEVER HE HAD TO DO TO SURVIVE -
- AS WHEN HE PROCLAIMED THE ERA OF BIG GOVERNMENT OVER.
- WHEN HE HAD TO ADAPT, CLINTON DID.
- OBAMA IS TOO MEGALOMANIACAL AND TOO COMMITTED TO LEFT-WING POLICIES TO MAKE A SIMILAR ABOUT-FACE.
- SO WHEREAS BJ CLINTON WON REELECTION, OBAMA WON'T.

ROUND UP HERE - AND HERE IS A STORY ABOUT THE DESPERATE MEGALOMANIAC'S PLAN FOR THE PRESSER TONIGHT.
I have always had a different take on Clinton getting reelected. It is my opinion that Timothy McVeigh is the ONLY reason Clinton got reelected. AFter 1994, the Media was Shell Shocked, as was Bill Clinton. Neither the Media nor Bill Clinton could figure out any meaningful response till Timothy McVeigh blew up the Federal Building. After that, the media went back to their old snarling self, attacking the new congress, especially Newt Gingrich as an "Extremist" etc. The Civilian groups that had organized to fight political fights (like the Tea Parties today) had the wind taken right out of their sails. No one wanted to be linked to Timothy McVeigh style extremism.
ReplyDeleteThe bombing suppressed a LOT of political activism by the conservative base, and it emboldened the Left, the Media (same thing) and Clinton.
Had McVeigh not blown up the federal building, there is a good chance that the conservative political assault on everything left and Clinton would have very well succeeded rather than been derailed. Both the Media and Clinton would have remained cowed.
RavingDave,
ReplyDeleteYou give a very interesting perspective on why Clinton was reelected, but I have to disagree with your view. I think President Obama stands a good chance of getting reelected - especially if he reignites the young voters to vote for reelection. Despite his poor performance, it seems that his young supporters will continue to scream "Hope and Change" as Obama drives this country off of a cliff. Additionally, his poor performance is not enough to guarantee his not getting reelected. One only needs to look at history to see this. When President Lincoln ran for office, he was hardly known throughout the country (no name recognition) and he was despised by many Southerners (because of his antislavery views). Lincoln was not elected because he won the heart of the country, he was elected because the opposition did not have a strong opponent to run against him. The opposition had many opponents which split the votes....Make no mistake about it... Lincoln won the presidency with only about 30% support... In his way, I think conservatives are in the same danger. There is no real leader to garner the united support of everyone. This can be the conservative downfall in 2012. The good news is that the democrats will lose a large number of seats and quite possibly the supermajority in congress. I will be happy with this result as the government will once again act the way it was designed - a system of checks and balances. Once democrats lose their supermajority, Obama will no longer be allowed to run his shenanigans.
