Obama’s ‘buzzsaw’ now 56% of Americans

So, when Democrats say they want health care reforms that grant the government control over another one-sixth of the economy, it’s getting harder and harder for them to lie about the source of the resistance. Unable to pass their legislation normally, and increasingly unable to pretend it’s popular, the left has now decided that reconciliation is the only remaining course if they’re going to successfully dismantle the free market. In other words, if the American people refuse to choose big government, it will be chosen for them, and rammed down their throats. Obama once called resistance to his health care agenda a “buzzsaw.” Right now it’s spinning at about 56 percent of capacity. Just wait until he tries to force this mess on the people from whom he derives his rapidly diminishing power.

For now, there’s little that ordinary Americans can do but scream at their congressmen and watch the spectacle unfold. That feeling of helplessness—of not being listened to—will present itself as a powerful conservative weapon in the fall. Until then, the best course of action is to avoid any “summit” invitations.

When this president extends a hand, there’s usually a dagger in it.
