The big vote today is not so much about healthcare reform as it is about saving Obama's presidency. This man is reckless. Obama has made a huge legislative bet he cannot cover. Rather than allow Obama to suffer a staggering setback, Congressional Dems feel obliged to pass a wildly unpopular bill.
Is this the template Obama will use in future power grabs? His legislative brinksmanship is fraught with considerable political risk to himself and the larger Democratic brand. Many, many Dems will go down in political defeat for propping up this socialistic behemoth.
We can expect several legal challenges to undo or stop Obamacare. This would have to happen quickly. Once Obama's scheme of socialized medicine is established, takes root and becomes accepted... it becomes a fait accompli.
Kill this legislation in the crib or embrace American serfdom.
