President Obama said today that he is not breaking through in his many, many speeches on health care. Breaking through what? A communication barrier? I don't think that could be it, because we understand exactly what he's selling and we're not buying. Just because there is opposition doesn't mean that we don't understand. That's condescending.
He then says that the opposition to his plan is caused by a fear of big changes. This imply's an idea of conservatives stuck in the past. Conservatives don't fear change, even big change, they fear negative change. Change that is going to hurt me is something to fear. When he says that people that oppose him fear change it makes us look like irrational ninnys who don't care what the issue is they just want the status quo. This is also unfair.
Something has been bothering me for quite some time. Obama talks constantly about his "inherited" problems, even though he has expanded them exponentially, just to take a jab at Bush and Republicans. In his address to Congress he said that Republicans were telling "scary stories" and "tall tales". Add in the implications that conservatives are fearful and stupid today by Obama and I'm getting pretty sick of it. The President is insulting half of the country on a near constant basis. He's advancing the us against them mentality. Why?
