 The media figures if it can fool us and sell us the empty suit that is Barack, then they can fool us into believing ObamaCaid will benefit the majority in the long run. “And anyway, politics is supposed to be abut achieving something more than your own re-election. America desperately needs health care reform; it would be a betrayal of trust if Democrats fold simply because they hope (wrongly) that this would slightly reduce their losses in the midterm elections.” Th Consider for a moment what Krugman is saying here! He is saying that he knows the people don’t want ObamaCaid and the people will punish those in Congress if they disregard the will of the majority and vote for ObamaCaid, but to hell with that! Krugman is actually, actually flipping saying…that despite the will of the people, Congress MUST do the thing Krugman wants, the thing Obama wants even if the majority of the country is opposed. After months of Obama’s wild lies and misrepresentation about ObamaCaid, the people finally get it! : This will sink us in debt and expand the inflation of medical costs.

Truer words were never spoken. The midterms will fill Congress with republicans and by 2012 the public may have the feeling of restored balance in government. As much as I hate to say it, Obama will probably be back in 2012. If that happens and another sweep of democrats wins back Congress, hold on to your wallets! Obama will spend this country into unimaginable debt!
I know Hillary won't go up against Obama. Perhaps another woman would be so brave!
