Is this 1993 all over again?
Back in '93, a new Dem president came in with lots of flair, lots of promises, and lots of talk of change!
Did I tell you that a guy named Bush was flying back to Texas in 1993? (41 went to Houston and 43 lives in Dallas!)
Two years later, Pres Clinton lost the Congress and threw all of those campaign promises, and the liberals, out the window.
Pres Clinton's collapse began with health care.
Nobody understood the plan. It was too confusing and too expensive!
Everybody is in favor of universal care in the abstract. It gets a lot more confusing when you have to write a plan!
Ditto GITMO, taking troops out of Iraq, etc! It's easy to make campaign promises, specially to people who are madly in love with the speaker! It's also very easy to make promises to people who are looking at your eyes rather than listening to what you are saying!
Today, we heard this:
“The members don’t even understand what’s in it,” he confessed of the legislation.
As for his constituents? They are “not exactly sure what this is about, and they’re not really sure whether they like it or not.”" (Politico)
Here is the headline of the day:
"The longer the Democrats' health care plan sits on the table, the less the American people seem to like it, several recent polls suggest." (FOX)
BO-Care is a political disaster! Didn't we go through this in 1993?
