One would think that the only good thing that comes to those who totally oppose O’health care is that, after today, we wouldn’t have to listen to it 24/7 anymore. Nor listen to Obama’s continual campaign talking points.
But noooooo…. the torture is set to continue. According to Michael Shear at WaPo, Obama’s got his 747 gassed up for a national public relations “blitz” designed to pitch…. get this… *health care*.
Apparently, it’s not enough to shove it down our throats. Now he’s determined to torture us until we tell him how much we love this nonsense.
President Obama is set to begin an immediate public relations blitz aimed at turning around Americans’ opinion of the health-care bill, assuming the House passes it, White House officials said Sunday afternoon as they waited for the final votes.
Planning inside the West Wing for the post-vote period has proceeded quietly, even as the president and his allies on Capitol Hill have been fighting for the measure’s passage.
Reshaping the legislation’s image will take place in three phases, aides said: the immediate aftermath; the seven months until the November midterm elections; and the several years that follow, during which many provisions in the measure will gradually take effect.
Driving the message during those periods is the belief among Obama’s top advisers that Republicans have boxed themselves into a corner with unanimous opposition to the legislation and talk of a repeal.
“The Republicans have way overshot the runway in their criticism of health reform,” said White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer.
Pfeiffer’s got to be kidding…. Just how does he equate a supermajority Congressional vote with the approval of the nation? It may even be more pertinent to point out to the WH talking mouthpieces that even the supermajority refused to vote for the bill… and the bare majority that did were bribed, paid, and/or threatened to do so.
Yeah…. American politics at it’s best. Pelosi announces she was “humbled” after the vote. With her audacity of corruption, she should be.
