By D.C.
My husband loves the FOX network's cartoon "Family Guy." I guess it is a mental release for him from his stressful job.So,the other night he was watching and the "Family Guy" Peter's two teenage kids,Meg and Chris,had the following exchange;
Meg,"Chris,why don't you have any money? I thought you had a paper route."
Chris,"I do have a paper route but I took a sabbatical to work on my poetry."
Meg,"How's that working out for you?"
Chris,"Not so good."
For some reason that reminded me of this Nancy Pelosi classic from 2010.
From back in May,2010,you can read Mary Katharine Ham's (from The Weekly Standard) take on Pelosi's comments here.
Now that it looks like the constitutionality of Obamacare will be settled by the Supreme Court,the sawed off shrimp and F.O.B.(Friend Of Bill ) Robert Reich sees the high courts ruling striking down Obamacare as a foregone conclusion(I agree with him).You can read his whining and crying about how the democrats screwed the whole deal up on Salon here.
To save you the time,he says what liberals always say when something they do fails(which happens pretty often),they didn't go far enough,if only they had done more,made the program larger,spent more money,if only it had been bigger.
He says if they had only made Obamacare single payer instead of an individual mandate it would have been constitutional.He also blames this on Obama and the dems caving into republican pressure to change from the single payer to the individual mandate.What was that Little Robbie? I don't remember many republicans supporting Obamacare either way.Who knows what he is smoking now.
Just like they didn't go far enough with the stimulus,just like they want more taxes,more regulation,it's always more,more,more. More government,less liberty,is always the liberal answer.
(For the record,Congressmen And Senators Who Voted For Obamacare,one republican congressman voted yes,I couldn't remember if Olympia Snowe did or not.So the democrats did not have to give up the single payer to get any republican votes,they didn't need those votes anyway,once again Reich is full of crap but whats new about that?)
So now the fate of Obamacare,at least the individual mandate part,will be decided by the Supreme Court.
Will they rule in favor of Nancy Pelosi's starving artists or the Constitution and personal liberty?
Is Nancy Pelosi an art lover?
Will Chief Justice Roberts take the brush out of a future Picasso's hand and give him a spatula to flip burgers for the man?
What does it say about a former law professor(who happens to be the president) that his signature legislation could(will) be struck down because it's unconstitutional ?
Hopefully we will know the answers to these questions in about a year,but I got a good feeling on this one.
This was a little before my time but the following video clip seemed to fit at the end of this post.
