Getting A Good Foothold

The uniqueness of the summit was that it was on TV. Presidents have always gathered up congressmen and tried talking them into this or that.

It’s fairly obvious that the summit was a symbol. Obama knows that his only chance of passing this now infamous bill after Brown won is to abuse Reconciliation. The summit was a symbolic show of bipartisanship to try and make the Reconciliation effort look less dastardly.

I’m not sure Obama believe the bill will or won’t work. I think he just knows it’s his chance to stake a claim for government control of healthcare. He knows once they have a foot hold the ever expansive nature of bureaucracy will grow – and fix – its way into controlling that huge chunk of society.

This is terrifying to anyone who sees government for what it is: an inefficient monster whose energy is only suited for certain and unique jobs. But guys like Obama think government is pretty much the answer to every problem – and by that I mean government issued payments. I mean – that’s the base of his whole ideology: Gather wealth with taxes and spread it around in a way that is fair.

Again – all he’s looking for is the biggest foot hold he can get.
