“This is what change looks like.” President Barack Obama
As RedStateVT often notes, politicians say the darndest things. Sometimes they are inadvertently ironic and sometimes they are inadvertently honest. So President Obama now ties the health care bill back to his campaign slogan of hope and change. If this is the signature example, we suspect that many Americans aren’t happy with what they saw. Obama has tried to divorce the outcome of the bill passing from the process by which it passed. RedStateVT is surprised that more haven’t commented on this, but Obama walks dangerously close to an “end justifies the means” rationale here. People are – we suspect – at least as disgusted with the process as with the content.
What we witnessed was bitter partisan battles, backroom political deals, fraudulent accounting and questionable procedural tactics. Is that change?
