Obama Team Scrambles

August 20, 2009 (LPAC)—Crumbling under the American people's relentless expressions of hatred against the President and his policies, the Obama team is tripping over themselves in their efforts to appear to still be "in charge."

Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is quoted in the Aug. 19 New York Times, accusing the Republican Party of having "made a strategic decision that defeating President Obama's health care proposal is more important for their political goals than solving the health insurance problems that Americans face every day," so the President is ditching efforts to get a bipartisan deal, and preparing to "go it alone" with the Democrats.

Press Secretary Robert Gibbs then spent much of his day denying that the President had given up on the Republicans, while equally adamantly denying that the Democrats were too split to agree on a bill, either.

The President turned religious for the day, addressing a thousand rabbis on a phone call in the morning on health care, and making a brief personal appearance on a teleconference with Soros-funded "religious" leaders in the afternoon. (Never mind the contradictions; George Soros has as much to do with "religion," as Obama's health reform has to do with "health care," as he made clear in his talk.)

Thursday, Obama's invited Philadelphia's Michael Smerconish, attorney-turned-important talk-show host, to broadcast his morning show from the White House itself, to plug its message.

The latest "leak" is that the White House and Congressional strategists are considering splitting the bill into at least two parts, so as to get the most contentious parts through by parliamentary maneuvers.

And in a perhaps-unconscious reflection of the White House's known obsession with LaRouche, Gibbs introduced the space program into the health care fight today, insisting that "I think the President would orbit the moon if he thought it would help. We'll get in a rocket and fly around the moon if that's what it takes to get people together." No, Gibbs, the American people want this administration to settle down on Mars--for a very, very long time.
