The themes for Obama’s campaign are not yet chosen, but a top adviser said not to expect a radical surprise: “He knows who he is."But does he really?
His best friend Valerie Jarrett thinks he's "self-critical". Really? Other observers beg to differ. Did the voters in Massachusetts give our President Barack Obama a B-plus? Have the American people on ObamaCare? Even his fellow Dems are not giving him a vote of confidence, most spectacularly moderate leftie Dem Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana, who decamped before the "bipartisan" farce of a healthcare summit. At least one other prominent Dem Senator is bailing on Reconciliation to shove this through (formerly known as the "unconstitutional" (video)?!!! nuclear option, which actually wasn't exercised last time round)
You can't just re-label reality, Barack.
That's what radical ideologues do.
Michael Gerson questions his judgment.
John Yoo in the WSJ, more prescient and gracious than the president or his team.
Not a surprise.
More, via RCP. Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) slams the plan. Republican whip Eric Cantor says Dems don't have the votes and the GOP has a plan to bring down costs. Good news, GOP's Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the architect of a roadmap for America's future, will be there. HT Pundit and Pundette. Also attending is Republican Rep. Peter Roskam of Illinois, who served in the state Senate with Barack Obama.
