So, you know what’s dumb? This: Republicans keep referring to something called an “Obama health plan.” The problem is, A) he’s still personally popular among the public, and B) he doesn’t actually have a health plan himself (there are instead various competing Democratic bills in Congress, none of which have received his endorsement). So what the GOP is doing in essence is tying his name and popularity to any and all congressional proposals. Which is pretty dumb for them to do, given that he’s, as I said, still personally popular.
They obviously hate him so much that they assume everyone else does too. Just another example of them being ultra-out of touch with the mainstream, I guess.
However, isn’t it pretty obvious that we are discussing health care because Obama *started* the discussion.
What was the topic of the news conference at the White House this week?
And Obama appeared at a town hall in Ohio yesterday about health care reform.
Just sayin,

Fair points, I don’t think anybody would disagree with you there.
