Progressive Promenade

One has to giggle at the shifting of the paradigm that has now enveloped the Obama oligarchs and their desperation to get any RSVP’s to their health scare masquerade ball. That which they thought was going to be a cakewalk has now become a Bataan Death March for the Demokrats.
The Socialist square-dance surrounding the backpedaling on the “public option” is now reaching a fevered pitch or more accurately, they are becoming fevered because their “pitch” isn’t going over at all. This week, progressive propagandists David Axelrod and “Chuckles” Bobby Gibbs took turns scratching out out-of-tune numbers on their fascist fiddles for the nation’s amusement. They have a lot of work to do as this egomaniacal administration is just trying to save face.
This, not unlike all of the others he has tripped over, is an Obama problem right out of his own ridiculous recipe file. With visions of the New Deal dancing in his head as well as the image of the 20th Amendment being overturned due to his personal “popularity,” Obama has decided to manacle himself to this impossible issue, yet another of his “number one priorities.” His ham-fisted approach with all of his previous populist prattle and his demands for complete compliance without perusal or examination of his odious offerings has caught up to him at the perfect time. The Obama wet dream of pitching a perfect presidential game have been ended in the bottom of the second inning.
Generations have proven that it is impossible to wean the liberals away from the Marxist milk of an overly intrusive government fueled by the tax dollars stolen from the productive. As well, the “health care issue” or their attempts to socialize medicine has been on their totalitarian to-do list for years. A victory on this particular issue that so many other liberals have failed to produce would therefore place Obama directly into the liberal pantheon of progressive deities and that “reality” has become communist catnip to the Illinois egomaniac.
Obama began to grease the rails for this “priority” of his right out of the gate. After he tested the waters with bogus bailouts and takeovers of formerly capitalist enterprises and as these schemes went off seemingly without a hitch, there was an unhealthy confidence that they had carte blanche to run the totalitarian table. Unfortunately for the usurpers, this health care debacle has proven to be too much for too many. Now the weird waltzes have begun.
You have to wonder, was Obama deviously deceptive enough to know that socializing medicine, as his first action, would have certainly caused him to strike out in his first at bat? He was hoping that his imaginary popularity would carry him in the same way that Roosevelt’s carried him through his Depression-extending policies and programs of socialism. As time has slowly worn on, his welcome has quickly worn out.
He is without his usual dossier of Demokratic excuses on this issue. There can be none of the “we inherited this mess” malarkey. These imbecilic sorcerers brought this communist cauldron to a boil themselves. The recent “waffling” on the public option has become a necessity, which has to exasperate the Super Ego in the Oval Office. Obama refuses to admit or appear as though he has lost, but “lost” on this he certainly has.
In “Bottom line on public insurance plan gets blurry” (apnews myway) Obama had two of his Joseph Goebbels understudies working the wonks yesterday. The overwhelming take on their efforts was summed up as they “blurred the bottom line on a government insurance option.” The liberals former confidence has been transformed into a socialist salvage operation as the progressive poltroons are desperately trying to patch the gaping holes in the Demokratic dirigible as it nose-dives towards the ground at terminal velocity. When the liberals, “don’t read it, just pass it” numbskullerie, with the accompanying hysteria and hyperbole in place, was finally called onto the carpet, blurring invariably becomes their default diagram for escape.
Axelrod said that Obama is “not walking away” from the public plan. When pressed over whether Obama would veto a bill without all of the socialized elements, “Axelrod declined to answer.” If he were smart, Obama would change out of his dancing shoes and into his tennis shoes while running away from this self imposed burden. Axelrod said, “I’m not going to deal in hypotheticals.” This is an incredibly interesting choice of words because liberalism itself is based upon nothing more than a blowsy series of lachrymose fictitious “hypotheticals.” Everything from poverty to their most recent environmental gibberish global warming, all of it is “supported” by the intellectual helium of liberal fallacy and phantasm.
“Obama prepares for a Wednesday night speech to Congress in a risky bid to salvage his top domestic priority, no other issue is so highly charged.” There is no way on Earth that Mr. “Unifier, not a divider” can possibly hope to retrieve, recover or regain this self-imposed tiara. The sponges and the bottom feeders who make up the liberal base are bellowing for the usual class envy empowered fleecing of their superiors. The conservatives are focused and organized, empowered by Obama’s obvious over-reaching and the independents, recognizing their “buyers’ remorse,” are becoming quick studies in the liberal dance of deception. Welcome to Obama’s Waterloo.
Ever since the winds of “change” began to blow sardonic raspberries at the liberal lunatics, they have been throwing pasta at the walls of the Oval Office until they found something that would stick and nothing has stuck yet. HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said last month that the public option is “not the essential element” causing Obama himself to perform a socialist soft-shoe or two in response. “Chuckles” Gibbs now calls the public option “a valuable tool” and he “danced around the question of whether it has to be in the final legislation.” Strike up the Bolshevik band, it’s time for “Dancing with the Czars.”
“Independents who helped propel Obama to the presidency are increasingly skeptical about his direction on health care.” These words strike as much fear in the liberals as “the shower is all yours.” “On Friday, during a call with prominent liberal House members, Obama refused to be pinned down on the public plan.” As always, “the official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the issue.” Obama’s opaque “transparency.” His Bolshevik bravado has been replaced with progressive pirouettes. Welcome to the Waffle House, may I take your order?
Even though Obama himself has been mailing out the invitations to the progressive promenade and as graceful as the liberals believe that he is, it is hard to dance when you have two leftist feet.
