It's the economy, stupid

ObamaCare is dead.

Nancy Pelosi looked in the mirror, and saw Reality.

Reality is not pretty, even when it's pumped full of Botox.

Getting Pelosi to pass the Senate bill through the House in unmodified form was one of the few options left to Barry as he worked to salvage his attempt at nationalizing 1/6 of our economy. But some Democrats are finally comprehending the Tea Party message they've been hearing since last summer from irate voters back home.

Sweeping health care reform has to take a back seat to jobs and economic issues.

So much for getting it passed by the time Barry gives his State of the Union speech. There's no other way for him to spin it except as an ignominious defeat.

Barry should have been concentrating on our economic problems. That's the message he would have been hearing, if he'd been paying attention. Yet on that score he's also struck out. $787 Billion dollars in Porkulus spending hasn't created or saved a single private sector job. It has managed to balloon our national debt to over $14 Trillion though.

I have a suggestion for Bob Casey. You don't need "a jobs bill" on the table. You need to (a) cut spending asap and (b) stop penalizing businesses for being successful. That means Barry's TARP tax on big banks has to go down in flames too. Banks can't lend out money if they're shipping it off to Washington so Barry can feed it directly to the UAW. And businesses won't hire new employees until they're sure that Barry won't paint a bulls-eye on their backs for daring to make a profit.

The voters of New Jersey rejected Jon Corzine's plan to tax us out of a recession. The voters of Massachusetts rejected Barry's plan to tax everything in sight for a massive new social program. The only pro-growth plan that is proven to work is tax cuts.

There was a well-known Democrat who once said "It's the Economy, stupid". I never thought I'd look back at Bill Clinton's tenure with fondness, but after a year and a day of Obamunism all I can say to Barry is this. "I remember Bill Clinton, and the thing is sport, you're no Bill Clinton."
