Liberals Continue to Whine, Blame Conservatives
When liberal policies fail who do they blame? Conservatives. When liberal policies fail to garner support from a majority of Americans, who do they blame? Conservatives.
NPR Blames Conservatives for Obama’s Broken Promises
Whatever version of healthcare reform President Obama gets from Congress will look nothing like the promises he made while campaigning.
According to NPR, it has nothing to do with Obama belting empty campaign slogans. Rather, NPR fired off a litany of conservative bogeymen, from Republicans to moderate Democrats to Sarah Palin’s “death panels” to explain why Obama’s campaign message has failed to materialize.
In an article printed Thursday called “Why Public Support For Health Care Faltered,” NPR, in cooperation with Kaiser Health News, began with the assumption that President Obama really meant his dream of healthcare for all that would magically be free:
As a candidate, Barack Obama promised to pass a health plan with important benefits for the average American. For the typical family, costs would go down by as much as $2,500 a year. Adults wouldn’t be required to buy insurance. No one but the wealthy would face higher taxes.
But a year later, the health care proposals in Congress lack many of those easy-to-sell benefits, which became victims of the lengthy process of trying to win over wavering lawmakers, appeasing powerful special-interest groups and addressing concerns about the heavily burdened Treasury.
In trying to explain why a Democratic majority can’t get Commie Care passed:
Certainly, relentless attacks by the Republicans – as well as the Democrats’ own inability to clearly articulate the benefits of the legislation – are partly responsible for the legislation’s lack of popularity. So are crucial policy decisions made by Democratic leaders as they struggled to push the legislation through Congress, according to experts of different ideological persuasions.
I’m reminded of whining children.
