When President Obama is forced to delay his upcoming trip to Indonesia in order to personally muscle his own health care bill through Congress, you've got to know that there is some serious trouble among the Democrats in what should have been a complete cakewalk; given their majority control in both Houses.
Yesterday, the entire "gang" of House Democrats cloistered in a Congressional meeting room and Nancy Pelosi emerged empty handed without even a simple one vote majority. We know this because, if she had the votes, she would be proceeding with passing the legislation.
Now, I can only assume that real deal making -- much like the low-life deals we already know of -- will begin in earnest. I would suspect these new ones will make the previous Louisiana Purchase, Gator Aid, and Corn Husker Kickback look like child's play. But, I'll will also bet that they will do everything in their power to hide these new bribes because of the previous political heat they got from the last ones.
What is really sad is that these unethical Democrats are attempting to completely take over 16% of this country's economy with just the slenderest of margins and no bipartisan support. And, to do this, they are using some of the most unethical deal making that this country has ever seen. You can thank the President and his background in corrupt Chicago politics for that. Never in the history of this country has this free market economic system completely taken over an entire industry such as health care. If they are successful, I can only imagine that other industries, such as energy production, are next on the list.
