What a Long, Strange Trip ObamaCare Has Been
Wasn’t that exciting? A national melodrama with its constant sense of crisis; a president’s long, accelerating fall from grace culminating in an orgy of political squalor; the Scott Brown miracle and the equally stunning hubris of the Democrats’ determination to ignore it; the missed deadlines and frantic lunges in the House, then in the Senate; the devilish political and procedural snags that rose up, like ghouls in a computer game, only to be shot down by the no-holds-barred trio of Obama, Pelosi and Reid … the gaudy payoffs, abrupt reversals of fortune, arm-twisting and smoke-blowing, the bald lies and the magical thinking that would make a fantasy writer blush. What a long, strange trip ObamaCare has been.
And perhaps the most amazing thing about it was that its hero, the man the media had been waiting for and who would cure all of life’s ills by waving his “more government” wand, seems to have frayed in front of our eyes. He didn’t quite come apart at the seams — although we’ve been spared seeing how he might have reacted if the House had actually failed to approve his life’s work — but there certainly was a noticeable loss of that exalted cool with which, arguably, he dashed John McCain’s hopes after the great financial bonfire of September 2008. Remember how “adult” he seemed then, when the world appeared to be coming down around our ears, how canny and detached — almost calculating — when the nation turned its lonely eyes to him?
Now we’ve seen him improvising, even scrambling, clearly more the master of disaster than the sultan of suave. In fact, he was plainly worried. You could see that in the Fox interview. After all, it was well within the realm of possibility that he would fall on what was once his supremely confident — even arrogant — face. His phenomenal golem of a law, this impending gross national liability to which he’s devoted not only the first year of a “historic” presidency but on which he’s gambling his own place in history and perhaps the long-term viability of his own party — not to mention the whole raft of redistributionist policies he wants to push through before he’s done with us — could well have been his very own supernova: a huge explosion after which his presidency and all the fevered hopes of the left disappeared into a yawning black hole. Even though he and his henchperson the speaker, America’s dangerously loony aunt, did manage to lie, threaten, and leverage it over the finish line, it only signals the beginning, not the end, of a grinding, all-out war for which his ammunition is largely spent.
Abraham Lincoln was known as “The Great Emancipator”
Ronald Reagan is called “The Great Communicator”
Barokeydoke Hubris Obozo will be remembered as “The Great Prevaricator”
Obama has not changed. The voters have, from hope to reality. A lot of us who paid attention, who would never place our hopes on politicians’ promises saw the train wreck coming. A lot of us who used a little of our brains would know things he said didn’t add up. A lot of us could not believe an eloquent orator had to read from a teleprompter, word for word. A lot of us could not believe a person who had no accomplishments should be our President. A lot of us did not understand why with all the years of community organizing by numerous community organizers, the communities are no better than they were. A lot of us believed these community organizers were “poverty pimps” who extracted money from taxpayers and corporations to enrich themselves, not the community they were supposed to serve.
A little advice: when politicians tell you they are doing things for the public good, ask “who is the public?”. Most likely, they are.
The problem is that history demonstrates that a solid 30 percent of the citizenry is capable of cowing the remaining 70 into doing things the 70 would not, left to their own devices. 0 has 30 percent of our citizens very firmly behind him. They want the handouts and the commie kool-aide and the power. Most especially, they want the power. Never forget two things: progressives/commies/socialists/liberals are not interested in governing, they want to RULE, in fact, they believe they have a ‘right’ to rule; and, the three oldest professions in the world are priests, politicians, and prostitutes – and the three often work in close cooperation.

This would be funny if it weren’t so serious. Obama has the soul of a petty dictator, and by his own admission he hates our constitution. He’s comfortable with Islam, Chicago Politics, government health care…all things that force people to submit via intimidation and physical force.
Luckily, Obama is still just a child dictator whom we can stop. But as he feels more emboldened with his ‘health care victory’ you can mark my words he will trot down the same path as Chavez, Mugabe, Papa Doc consolidating his power with his thug enforcers and more ‘laws’ demanding fealty from his subjects.
Obama now gloats, thinking he accomplished part of what he came to do, namely soft tyranny.
However, should the lawsuits in court prevail, the mask will slip completly and there is no telling what he will do. Never underestimate him, when he’s backed into a corner, and nobody there to bail him out.
I am convinced that Obama became president, financed by dubious contributions, for the only reason to bring America to its knees. It’s been a lifelong dream of the world socialists, and they found their man, who has no connection to America at all, in Obama.
Obama will be known as the killer of the democratic party after this. He won, but at what price?
Obama hasn’t changed. He’s always been an authoritarian. Some of us saw it from the get-go.
Now introducing, Presbo……..Presidente’ for Life……Beloved Dictator……….by Executive Order. Give him a big round of applause for all he has done for you!! (Those not standing and clapping will be marked for later punishment.)
They call us Teabaggers to disparage us and try to tell us that we’re the ones that are messed. I’ll take that, because I’d rather be a Teabagger than a douchebag.
I’m wondering if the term ‘Pyrrhic victory’ will be needing a new sponsor.
Remember:
“The issue is never the issue.
The issue is control.”
A fun and disheartening read, Mr. Durstowitz.
A poster on another PJM article commented on Obama’s mediocre H.S. and college grades yet being accepted to a prestigious Grad School and graduating Magna Cum Laude…?
I don’t recall Fredosso’s or Corsi’s books discussing Obama’s specific grades, respectively. I delved into Obama’s ‘education’ further. Unlike Bush, ALL of Obama’s grades, test scores, thesis are sealed from the public.
Occidental College is a middle-of-the-road institution. With stronger grades and using AA to his advantage Obama would have gone to a more prestigious college.
Obama by all accounts was phantom-like at Columbia. Columbia alumni who’ve come forward speak little if at all about Obama or his ‘academia prowess’. Obama explains this in his autobiography by spending much of his time at the library.
Obama did not receive ANY honors when graduating Columbia. As well as Columbia and Obama not releasing his transcripts.
I’m well aware of McCain not releasing his abysmal grades from the Naval Academy. Though Bush’s undergrad performance is available for public view. As is Kerry’s and Gore’s. All ‘men’ possessing mediocre grades. Though Gore sure plays the part of an intellect.. haha
I too spent a lot of time in the library in college. As well as hundreds, perhaps thousands of other students on campus. 12 years later I can recall some 2 dozen people I haven’t seen since that time but can vouch for their being a frequent library user.
Obama is then accepted into Harvard Law with no honors from Columbia and graduates MCL?
I was on the President’s list for 2 years and always on the Dean’s list and hadn’t graduated Cum Laude!
In lawyer-speak, ‘I’m not buying it Counselor’.
“The president seemed to change before our eyes into a kind of “this is for your own good” authoritarian.”
He only changed in the eyes of those who voted for him blindly. They heard his voice, but were too ignorant to understand the meaning of the words. The foolish 52(%) laughed when he was exposed, saying, he’s a centrist, because they didn’t understand ideology. The main question now is whether the light has come in time for undoing by ballot.
“He seems to be changing before our eyes into a kind of “this is for your own good” authoritarian.”
Huh? It was obvious all during his campaign that that’s what he was, if you heard what he said when the TOTUS wasn’t around.
Al Sharpton claims that the election of President Obama was an overwhelming vote for socialism. ..
I don’t think the majority of those voters could care less…as long as they get “theirs”, why worry where it comes from as long as they didn’t have to work for it. There is no need for entitlements, work for what you get.
If the healthcare bill is so good…there would have been no need for “deals”.
We do need help with health care costs, but this bill is not the answer.
If I liked everything Obama suggested..I would still hatehatehate his smug attitude
Fantastic comments above. Just read Heather Macdonalds series in City Journal. I always knew Obama was out to take down America. If he had any good intentions , he would have made ending illegitimacy his legacy not Health Care. Imagine if he had taken up the cause to end the welfare enslaved hell hole ghetto’s of Michigan, Illinois, Los Angeles… Oh but that might mean restoring America to that “Shinning City on the Hill” Imagine had he brought together men like Sowell, Clarence Thomas, Shelby Steele, and other successful black Americans to put together a movement that would begin the real transformation of the United States.
I just returned from a trip from Europe (Croatia) every single young married couple I met lived with there parents or inlaws, drove a clown car (mostly belonging to there parents) and some had black market jobs in Germany, to make ends meet. This is the European lifestyle Obama envisions for America. Doing with much less (in saving the planet). All I heard were the stories of high Taxes, and when I saw the cost of gas I just about choked. It is next to impossible to make ends meet, unless your part of the ruling class the leftover elite or the media elite. They are propagandized through a constant talk on television of “culture” They seem to be preoccupied with “kultura” theatre, arts, etc.. as if that is what replaces the desire for mobility and wanting more or a better life (like your own home!!!) So in essence it’s about doing with much less except you can get much gratification with taking the kids to plays, the theatre etc…Most nicer cars have been kicked in, this is seen as normal, people shrug it off as “well, socialism has created jealousy between those who have eeked out a better existence to those who have not” .This will never be accepted by the American people, there are way more ants than grasshoppers.

Dialectics can be a bitch ,especially for inept Marxoid dweebs,such as Obama.The deathcare bill has served to galvanize Americans into creating an anti-statist resistance infrastucture,which can only grow and become more active,as the infrastucture of the welfare state collapses under the weight of bankruptcy, incompetence, and inefficiency.A real consciousness-raising is under way,alerting people to the manifest incompetenceof the state to solve ANY problem.As more Americans decide that the Welfare state was a catastrophic mistake, watch for Obama and his demtard goons to attempt to legalize the alien invasion to try and overwhelm native anti statists, with newly legalized welfare dependent voters.When that happens,the Tea party movement will then enter a new dialectical stage, morphing into something similar to the Black Power movement of the 60′s. It won’t be comprised of people holding tea bags, but of minutemen engaged in civil disobedience.Things are going to get interesting!
The Republicans need to run “There’s a Communist in the White House” campaign. Because there is.
The impact of the political swage represented by Obamacare can be the pinnacle of resistance . . . the huburis of non-defeat may mean that the worst is yet to come. Face it folks . . . the first wave of the tsunami is seldom the highest . . . there is more to come.
9. Smart Grunt: Actually , the correct response to the term “tea bagger” is the term Barack Sucker.
Gloating is actually unbecoming.
This is not Africa or Arabia, we don’t dance in the street when our opponents fail…
We are supposed to a free and independent thinking people, I think we have forgotten that principal. Too many are wanting only the “free” stuff. Too many think that Obama has a secret stash of money he is going to redistribute to those who want free money. That’s not true, but it sells good in the poor and uneducated.
BTW, while you are giving stuff away, I’d like a new Mercedes
The president seemed to change before our eyes into a kind of “this is for your own good” authoritarian.
No change, just more dogmatism as he got closer to the prize, the so called “win” in the house.
I have no idea as to how this guy looks at himself in the mirror, having said repeated times (prior to becoming President) how using the reconciliation process for legislation as massive as “healthcare” would be very wrong.
Currently (sound off as I can’t stand to hear the words again) his expression is more menacing, the warning finger wagging at us, the hands outstretched to hold off the logic of the opposition.
The authoritarian impulse is growing more fixed, more dogged. It has always been there, however.
7. Mary Grabar:
Obama hasn’t changed. He’s always been an authoritarian. Some of us saw it from the get-go.
yes I saw it …many saw it, doesn’t make me feel better.
“Obama has not changed”
Neither has the Democrat Party.
They’re the same thing thing they’ve always been…liars, traitors, thieves and tyrants.
The only thing that changes is who the Democrats’ slaves currently are. Black guys picking cotton in the 19th century, teenage conscripts fighting in crapholes like Vietnam or worse yet, France, in the 20th century…the whole damn country in the 21st century. Who the slaves are changes, but Democrats forcing people to serve them at the point of a gun…that never changes.
‘The president seemed to change before our eyes into a kind of “this is for your own good” authoritarian.’
Nope. Nothing changed. All he is is a 21st century version of John C. Calhoun…and that’s all he’s ever been.
Let us not forget that Obama was elected by 31% of the electorate, not 52%. Only 58% of the electorate turned out for the election and 52% of them actually voted for this Dictator-In-Training. Between now and November we must keep opposing Obama’s policies because he will try to ram through Cap and Trade and especially, Amnesty for Illegal Aliens. Don’t say ‘undocumented’ because the documents properly state ‘ILLEGAL’.
A ‘victory’ speech to a majority of people who didn’t want this huge bill is a little creepy to say the least.
The Republicans need to run “There’s a Communist in the White House” campaign.
In praise of ditzy…:)
Victoria Jackson on Saturday Night Live
20. Baal, I stand corrected. I guess in their eyes, we either need to suck it willingly or take it forcefully. No wonder they’re the party of Larry Flynt.
How much of the electorate knows what a Communist is or would object to a Communist if it did know? Years of tax-supported miseducation (maybe diseducation) while conservatives were asleep at the switch have taken their toll.
We need to remember this: Barry is a Sophist, in fact Barry is the Lord of the Sophists.
(For lack of a better definition not out of wikipedia a sophist is a person who tries to convince you of the veracity of his/her argument by virtue of the suspension of disbelief and brainpower required to wrap one’s skull around it. The more moving parts…the better! Occam’s Razor pshah!)
In a day when we can look across the pond and see the results of unchecked socialist spending in Greece, Ireland, Portugal etc… you are still called a rube for believing in the dictum: “Don’t eat yellow snow.”
Prince Barry, Lord of the Sophists, and the First Socialist President will tell you that his grand design, his towing construction of his superior intellect will surely reduce the deficit… In other words, “Thou shalt eat yellow snow… or you are a racist.”
But you racist simpletons cling bitterly to the notion of “Dont eat yellow snow….”
Obama hasn’t changed a iota – what appears as fluctuations in his ways and aims, are only momentary, necessity-dictated recalibrations of his intentions which I was wary of from moment zero.
Obama will, at any point of his career, try to inflict his views of the world upon anyone, or as it happened, this nation whose accidental president he happens to be -
Views of the world – socialistic, if not communistic; authoritatian, if not tyrannical; vengeful towards the western world in a post colonial manner; impervious to criticism, and lack inclinations for self-analysis; etc.. etc…
… and under these, lying a deep-seated death-wish generated by his completely, surreal un-hampered career, whose trajectory he’ll one day object to the test of infailability…
… get a 800 BC Greek goatkeeper to observe Obama and he’ll shortly say that he knows the man, and the word for him is HUBRIS -
Obama didn’t change.
A commie behaving and speaking as a commie is just that, a commie.
And it is a whole administration of radicals, it’s not one man.
And the whole democratic party has supported the marxists.
So, we do have a problem. A lot of problems.
Prayer will help.
And I disagree with those who say “there is a commie in the White House”.
There is instead a whole communist administration in power, and there is a powerful group behind the scenes, moving the puppets (Soros, money from the islamists, the forces that are destroying Europe, etc.)
Don’t accept the terrain chosen by the marxists, don’t make it personal.
RE #31/Addendum:
… all these happening in the context of a cultural implossion, and collective misreadings of facts and intention -
The baffling results of a recent CNN (?) poll: while the criticism of his handling of home affairs is growing, as we know, CNN reports that people are content of Obama’s handling of foreign affairs, particularly of Iraq and Afghanistan situations (!!!)… both cases in which Obama has soundly, opportunistically worked against America’s interests, clearly yearning for a defeat and further “re-alignement” with some paralysing “global values” -
Who on the earth can praise Obama for foreign affairs statemanship?
Heavens! This is sick – yet it also points to the cultural trend which allows Obama to further his objectives -
If it can be a good reform, I think it is really not the good time for it, but may be it can be “good” as growth with environment which in fact costs more than it produces.
32. misanthropicus:
Who on the earth can praise Obama for foreign affairs statesmanship?
Their names are Benedict Arnold, Quisling, and Neville Chamberlain….
And Grima Wormtongue.
The President is a communist. What did we expect him to morph into? Sheesh. Next subject.
All of the indicators of the true Obama have been available for several years. The majority of the public was duped by the complicity of the legacy media that enabled Obama to present his false images. Finally his true (lack of) character is clearly evident.
Obama is undermining our Constitution. His foreign policies are dangerous and will result in several disasters. then he will be impeached by the Republican controlled House sometime before the 2012 elections.
Can someone explain to me what Obama signed today – called healthcare – if the Senate has not yet voted on the bill passed in the House (the bill was the Senate bill plus hundreds of pages of amendments)?
Can the president really sign a bill into law that was not voted on, in its finished form, by both houses of congress?
The label debate can detract from the essentials, communist, socialist, whatever.
I found Al Sharpton’s comment yesterday something of a breath of fresh air in its (possibly unintended) candor…I would disagree with Slick Al’s use of the word “overwhelmingly” however, since the Nov. 2008 democrat win was hardly what you’d call overwhelming.
Al Sharpton admits Obama = Socialism
rotto, #39
I’ve wondered myself, the whole deal is, obviously, extremely arcane.
Reportedly, Joe Biden, esteemed Veep & gaffemeister, whispered to Barack at the signing ceremony…
“This is a big f&%k*#! deal.”
rotto – The only matter the Senate need contend with is approve the companion bill of proposed House fixes to the legislation being signed into law. The Senate only needs a 51-vote majority.
I’ve read about half of the City Journal linked above.
It’s ironic, one of the reasons Barack boogied off to Harvard law school was his disillusionment with the whole community organizing shtick in Chicago.
And now, this community organizer, this perpetual agitator, is trying to effectively community organize the federal government, as I repeatedly said he would during the campaign.
When all else fails, when the word agenda to “empower” the blacks of Chicago’s southside has failed miserably and the organizations and institutions set up for said empowerment are completely corrupted, go to law school, run for President and fall back on the same failed set of Alinsky bromides.
Hmm … looks like previous post got eaten, so here it is again:
Roll call for health-care reform bill votes: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2010/roll165.xml
Oops … *blush* … was on another thread. Apologies.
Last night I wrote a formal letter to President Obama informing him that,for what it’s worth, I’m hereby withdrawing my personal consent for him to govern this nation on the grounds that he knowingly is carrying out unconstitutional, intolerable acts. Along with this withdrawal of consent is the collateral statement that henceforth I consider President Barack Obama to be the centerpiece of an illegal Presidency. Therefore, any treaties or agreements with foreign countries he makes will be null and void. Any domestic actions he makes are null and void. Until this illegal President is removed, and because he is breaking federal and state laws every day he continues to act as President, the laws, likewise, apply not to the people. I pay no taxes, state nor federal. I abide no laws, state or federal, except the laws of common sense. I have formed a defensive perimeter and consider myself a defender of the United States of America. Do not expect visit an incursion onto my property and expect not to be met with transverse fire. This will be my last entry on the internet. I’ve canceled all social networking sites. This will be my final internet entry. Over and out.
Why is anyone surprised? Obama is a thuggish Chicago pol with extensive ties to Marxists.
The new health care reform law does have some serious flaws, however, as with all the issues of the past ten or twenty years the right wing refused to muster the guts to “do something” hence, when opportunity knocked, they had to leave it up to the democrats to get it done. Which they did, though many on the left are not happy about letting the private sector remain in control. Now, however, at least we will have years to fix it and if any elected officials would like to join the debate and offer something besides “country club coupons” then they can fly back to the big house and chime in. Good Luck with that eh?
Maybe he has his new..well not so new..spiritual adviser to thank for the attitude…His new reverend is a socialists/. Why is no one talking about this fact? If a Republican of any standing had this man for a spiritual adviser, there would be hell.
Is Obama also in line with the “The Sojourners Cmmunity”?
We all say socialists, Marxists etc…Obama is not only talking..he’s walkin the walk..
The right had best come up with some “stuff”..cause Obama and his jackboots are walkin allLLLLL over America
RACHEL PEEPERS!!! SAY IT’S NOT SO!!!!
@46. rachel peepers
I think I’m in shock myself…
Maybe some of us need a breather and a battery recharge.
I’m emotionally exhausted myself. It’s pretty downright depressing what is happening in our country.
Thanks to tanstaafl and paul_unalaska… I saw Brit Hume talk about it on Fox news around 2:30.
Interesting that no one else though it worthwhile to explain what kind of BS our so called representatives in DC are doing to get this socialist crap stuffed down our throats.
And to Poor citizen #48
The Republicans who tried to pass real health care reform (i.e., tort reform) were shouted down by the left.
And your characterization of the “new health care reform law” as having “some serious flaws” would be comical if it was not so tragic. “Serious flaws” is a understatement of a magnitude I cannot put into words fit for these pages. It strips us of freedom like no other socialist attack has to date. Yet it also pales in comparison to the freedom the left seeks to abridge with such boondoggles as cap and trade, government run IRA’s and even the proposed outlawing of fishing – what else they have up their collectivist sleeves I can only shudder to imagine.
And I take no comfort from knowing that you will suffer with the rest of us as we slide into banana republic status ruled by South American Liberation (pseudo) Theology communists.
But thanks for your efforts.
Just keep telling yourself “it can never happen here…. It can never happen here… it can never happen here…”

The last one failed( thanks John Mc Cain, Ted ( the new dead) Kennedy and the rest of the vote buying ass wipes in the Congress.
Wow! What a difference a bill signing makes! By a slim margin Americans now support the passage of Health Care Reform! Conservatives have been citing for weeks and months on end how the polls are reflective of large scale public sentiment against HCR. How will they treat those very same polls now that they’re beginning to show a result that they don’t like? My guess is that they will try to discredit them in any way they can. The pollsters are only infallible when they like the information they produce and it supports their own arguments (they can go to Rasmussen for that).

Long, strange trip? More like Lying, Arm-Twisting Trip. We have elected a man without a moral compass (and by “we”, I mean “you”), a man who was raised and mentored by communists who taught him that the ends justify the means, and who does not have the unique views and values of the African-American community he is supposed to be part of, by virtue of his formative years in Pacific-Asian lands (not to denigrate those, but his outsider status would have had some effect). This is a man with no loyalties except to himself and his inner circle, America and the ideal of America be damned.
But let us not blame him alone. He found plenty of fellow travelers. Some are just clueless, wayward orphans sucked into a seductive ideology. Plenty are cynical, hardened opportunists, out for political or monetary power.
These are our enemies, America. How do you choose to fight them?
The Dawning of the Age of Obamius!
. . . All that because President Barack Hussein Obama signed the historic, monumental, long overdue health care package on Tuesday, 36 hours after it made it to his desk. That’s the same desk that he said would signal 5 full days for the public to peruse any bill.
Wait ’til the Obamacare chickens and taxes come home to roost!
Our classy Vice President Joseph Beauregard Biden was so excited that he couldn’t contain himself after the signing and told Obama, as if Obama didn’t know, “This is a big f***ing deal!”
Hear Biden drop the “F bomb,” expletive undeleted, in the White House and see him chuckle at his own witticism here: http://bit.ly/bssMcf . . .

Re: the “SHOUTING” section, a semi-apology to Texas congressman Randy Neugebauer.
Rep. Neugebauer fessed up as the guy who bellowed out during Rep. Bart Stupak’s foolish attempt to appear a pro-life Democrat in his pro-life Michigan neck-of-the-woods and try to defend his cowardly retreat from that position on Sunday night.
See “Bart Stupak: Ignoramus, Hypocrite, or Both,” http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=1580.
Stupak didn’t fool anyone and nor did Neugebauer when he actually shouted, ”Baby killer!” at Stupak.
Neugebauer subsequently conceded that he was the shouter but then resorted to classic congressional CYA by insisting he had really bellowed, “It’s a baby killer” in reference to the Obamacare bill the House had just passed in a squeaker, 219-212.
In deference to colleague Stupak, to whom Neugebauer apologized, the Texan had to lie that he was not vilifying Stupak but rather ripping the pro-abortion Obamacare bill. . .
