7/20/09- TWD's Agenda For The Day: "Teh Scary Government Option, OMG"
The spinning is strong this morning ladies and gentlemen. From Michael Steele showing his gutless lying at the National Press Club to people pushing the Washington Post poll about President Obama's approval ratings going down in handling this issue (I only report the numbers people), the push to stop a public option is getting stronger. And the reason why?Because the call for a public option itself is getting stronger and thensome. And thensome.
And if you look at this issue from a neutral, rational, unbias perspective, that push for a public option is stronger than the push against it. Much stronger.
From Obama pushing on Friday (and his weekly address) to even a vote being announced on single payer of all things in the House Amendment bill, the tide has changed. The 76% of the nation wants a government led insurance choice.
The majority is clear. The house CBO final report, final report, shows we'll get a $6 billion surplus if that bill is implemented like it is now. That bill has been endorsed on Speaker Pelosi's blog.
You know what's more scarier than "Teh Scary government health care plan?" Not getting that "scary government plan."
