I love that title. I borrowed it from a RealClearPolitics article on the blunder that is the push to reform the healthcare system, which is an excellent read. Not that it’s hard to find Amateur Hour at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. these days; just about any time of any given day will do.
The article describes how Obama has flubbed this deal; he tasked the Democrat ‘leadership’ — dominated by “coastal liberals” — with writing the bill. They wrote what they would like to see in such a bill, but didn’t think to consult their slightly less liberal fellow Dems while doing it, and now everybody in the White House seems surprised at the current dustup going on over the “Public Option”. The author, Jay Cost, explains it much better than I ever could, so check out the real deal.
He ends the article with…
It’s almost as if the President has absolutely no experience in dealing with the United States Congress whatsoever.
… Gee; do ya think? I’ve been arguing that since Sarah Palin came on the scene.
