Fawning media: 'Obama now scared of own shadow'

Media coverage of Obama has taken a sudden sour turn over the past few days – especially from the more unapologetically leftist crowd – since the president hinted over the weekend that the so-called "public option" could be scrapped from his health care reform plans.

"How did we get here?" objected MSNBC host Rachel Maddow. "How did we get to the foretold 'death' of the public option? ... We got here through a collapse of political ambition."

In an eight-minute advocacy piece for government-run health care, blasting Big Business and free market insurance coverage, Maddow turned her ire on the president and congressional Democrats for backing down from drafting a socialized health care system like those adopted by some European nations.

"Why is the public option dying now? It's dying because of a collapse of political ambition," concluded Maddow. "The Democrats are too scared of their own shadow to use the majority the American people elected them to in November to actually pass something they said they favored."

Maddow's commentary, titled on screen as "No We Can't," can be seen in the following video:

Yo, Rachel, maybe he lied to you. Ever think about that?

The left is never happy.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

This is what happens when you make an inexperienced, Chicago street thug the President of the United States. That wasn’t a good move America! Historical or not, the choice sucks.

Well, you see, Rachel. When a man loves a woman, they get married and then.......oh, wait.....you're not into that whole "man loves woman" thing are you?

Presidentin shore is hard.

This is like that scene in the “Lost in Space” movie (1997), where Dr. Smith has been transformed into a seemingly invicible being from a bite of a metallaic space spider. However, when he is wounded, the spiders (sensing weakness) turn on him and eat him.

Hey Rachel, did you ever hear the story about The Snake?

[indyhome]

He knew when he was running for office that health care reform would be a very difficult battle with a 50-50 chance. But none-the-less he used it as a way to get votes. Its just part of the game folks.

No, Rachael—we got here because of out of control ambition to socialize the whole economy. Ya Bozo.

LOL I like it.

Maddow wins the Bushwhacker Award for excellence in Marxist/Socialist rambling ranting and a date with this recent elective surgery recipient (she just had an Addadicktomy procedure). I wonder if Madcow advocates that transgender bender surgery be covered by the pubic insurance option?

I'm sorry I missed that movie, since you described it that way. Kind of like the death of Scar by the jackals at the end of Lion King.

"What we have heeeeeyah.....is failure to communicate."

The left are sissies and they fold like cheap tents when you punch them in the mouth. Most of the losers that voted for Obama could now care less. They got what they wanted and now they’re disengaged again.

Maddow and her friends should move to Europe.

[rbg81]

Yup—same principle. The scene I described illustrated the effect more graphically, however. :^)

If only that were true. Unfortunately, they are extremely determined and don’t give up. They are willing to “compromise” their objective, as long as they advance.
