Pelosi: Obamacare fallout will be reversed, won't hurt
Democrats — (CNN) -
The top Democrat in the House predicted that any political fallout from the new
healthcare law will be reversed within months. — “By the time we
get into the spring, I think the Affordable Care Act will either …
Editor's notes: In a week when almost nothing of import is happening in the world of politics, you might ask, "Why is the editor singling out this story?" And the answer is rather straight forward.
Pelosi is a nutcase with the ability to amass political power, as vindictive a party leader as one can find, AND, if she is not in power, no one cares what she has to say. THAT is the storyline, here. My story is more about who is talking about her statement, than what she said. Makationale note of the "Discussion" at the end of the lede. Only CBS DC (a local affiliate - not the national network) took this CNN story. Usually, you can expect to see a list of several sources, sometimes as many as 20, named in the "Discussion." Again, on this occasion, the only national media giving attention to Pelosi's prediction was CNN.
Keep in mind, this is a prediction made by a woman who actually thinks it makes sense to say, "We have to pass the bill in order to see what is in the bill." This is the same woman who once predicted, "We will add 400,000 jobs to the economy, almost immediately, after the signing of the bill (ObamaCare)."
Understand and believe this, Democrats running for re-election, have no one to help, in a meaningful way, in their individual election campaigns. Not Obama; not Harry Reid; not Nancy Pelosi.
And "No," I did not forget about Hillary. She may be of value, but she is busy with presidential, 2016 strategies. And Benghazi is more a problem for her, than any of us might suppose.
Point of this post: The lede storyline, Pelosi saying anything, has become a joke, of and within itself. She, Reid and Obama (among others) have been almost totally discredited, as to render them irrelevant, and, I dare say, more so than is the case with Mitch McConnell or John Boehner.
If "they" cannot come up with an effective lie, in their defense of ObamaCare, the Democrat party is in as serious trouble as it has been in my adult lifetime . . . . come the midterms in 2014.
To make matters worse, "they" know that after the spring of this coming year, stereotypes will be set in the minds of the voting public, and escape from opposition branding will be almost impossible. They have just three/four months to change public perceptions. Of course, nothing can be considered "written in stone," until election day, but there is a definite deadline facing our national Socialist party and it is coming down the tracks at high speed.
