Congressional Dems Say ‘Erhm’ on Health Care
Well, one of the most tangible differences between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama appears to be flying out the Rotunda window:
Congressional Democrats are backing away from healthcare reform promises made by their two presidential candidates, saying that even if their party controls the White House and Congress, sweeping change will be difficult.
It is still seven months before Election Day, but already senior Democrats are maneuvering to lower public expectations on the key policy issue.
Well, I guess it’s back to deciding whether you’d like the white lady or the black man again. Good luck with that.
I think Wonkette put it best yesterday when they said:
A formerly “energized and optimistic” Democratic Party finds itself bored and frustrated with two candidates who can’t seem to win and can’t seem to lose.
