Wow, that really sounds like something we all need doesn't it? After all, for forty plus years Senator Kennedy has successfully been involved in helping bring our country to where it is now.
You'd think that Ted, in between treatments, was pitching this thing right to the end. After all, the old Senator's self-proclaimed purpose and final wish was to entitle health care for all, whether affordable or not! The old Liberal Lion of the Senate is barely in repose and they've already titled him to Obama's Health care Plan to try and save it.
Actually, the only thing more dead than old Ted is this bill in it's present form. Thus, I think the intent of the strategy of associating Senator Kennedy to this bill now was more than just trying to save it as is! It is an attempt to perhaps save the current democratic majority from exploiting their political power and pissing it all away!
Now some might argue that the Ted Kennedy Memorial Health care Legislation is aimed at the sensitivities of the "Blue Dogs" that the democratic leaders say are corrupting this mandated process. Or, aimed at the"Astro-Turfers" and others of the "Mob" that too are shouting down their efforts. However, I think that this exercise in politics as usual is aimed directly between the eyes of the progressive liberals that are driving the train and pushing the Messiah around. Could it be that this strategy is designed to "lay to rest with old Ted" and appease the sentimental naysayers and bury the wishes for a public option in this bill?
The real intention of this shallow form of sensitivity is to hopefully allow the Administration something that will stay alive through the Liberal Progressive's scrutiny. To excrete a bill that will redeem the President and keep him and the rest of the party from sliding over the edge into the abyss of where liberal democrats are laid to rest before they have truly reached their stride. This crap might stick to the wall... maybe not!
I'd bet that a beaten Obama is sure he can convince the progressives to capitulate to something that will help the staggered Democratic Party to get up off the canvas and last another round. I'm sure both Rohm and Obama think that a watered-down bill that basically slaps down the far left (vs. a knockout) is about all they could possible salvage in this fight. Especially, since the public has made it clear that their grandchildren and their children are too much to sacrifice at the Obama liberal progressive alter.
Hey, I've got a great idea on how to use a stellar politician like Senator Ted Kennedy to honor democracy and help move our country forward. How to use the full scope of his experience and all he has brought to the democratic process for our Republic into a light that will guide us into legislation that will transform and move the Republic to help form a more perfect union. To allow the United States to again become the country our founders and Constitution prescribes. Something that will represent the time, effort and contributions made by this great liberal. A bill that would truly epitomize what Senator Kennedy has steered the way toward for our country...
