"Preserve, Protect and Ignore.........."

So now the new deadline for some action in the House on this healthcare fiasco has been pushed back yet again, this time to Sunday. By my unofficial count, this is the 9th such deadline that has come and gone. And it must be serious for Obama to defer his daughter’s Spring Break trip to Asia and Australia on Air Force One until June.

As I write, there is no “Reconciliation Bill” because it has not been written. So, as it stands right now, the Senate Bill still contains the:-

The “Cornhusker Kickback”.

The “Florida Gatorade” sweetener.

The Connecticut hospital deal.

The 500 Billion in Medicare cuts.

Federal funding for abortion.

A delay until 2018 before so-called “Cadillac plans” enjoyed by many unions will be taxed. No wonder that this very day, the AFL/CIO endorsed the Senate bill.

And, the now infamous, “Louisiana Purchase” is still in there.

Small wonder that reluctant Democrats fear a double-cross and they have good reason to do just that .

On television last night, Obama tried to justify all these and cited two examples. The first was relative to Louisiana where he cited Hurricane Katrina which happened more than 4 ½ years ago. The second example though was hilarious when he proffered Hawaii and declared the reason for the deal offered to the “Aloha State” was because of the earthquake.

Huh? What earthquake?

Now, should he not know all about the state where he was purportedly born? Clearly he confused Hawaii with Haiti. Well, they do both start with an H and an A and they both end in an I, so the confusion is understandable for any normal human being. But this is the Promised One, the Smartest Man in the World but perhaps that lack of a teleprompter rendered him mortal.

Or perhaps he thought Haiti was one of the Union’s 57 states he talked about on the campaign trail. Mind you, I think I know why he said that. At every meal he probably stares at a bottle of Heinz ketchup with a big “57” on its label.

Also, interesting, was Obama’s insistence that he didn’t concern himself with “Procedure” or “Process”. Well, I’m sorry to disillusion Barack but he is supposed to be a constitutional lawyer by profession and the Constitution of these United States is all about both process and procedure. I suggest he gives it a read one of these days starting with Article 1, Section 7.

After all, he swore an oath on the steps of the Capitol to protect that Constitution but I do not believe that oaths mean much to liberals or liars or lawyers. And rolled into one, the mixture is toxic.

I am convinced that Obama does not care how the healthcare thing winds up on his desk. In fact, I’ll go further. He does not care if a vote, any vote is taken at all.

Better yet, there would never be another vote ever again on anything he wants because, until now, nobody has ever told him “No”. And he doesn't want to take the chance.
