The Obama White House, shell-shocked by the victory of Republican Scott Brown in the Massachusetts U.S. Senate special election, no longer predicts Congress will pass health care this year.

"I think it's always hard to tell how these things sort out in the first hours," President Obama's senior adviser David Axelrod told Fox News on Wednesday when asked if health care was now dead.

I look forward to the Dems spending another year on ObamaCare while unemployment stays at 10%. The Dems will be disemboweled in November.

If they pull their socialist agenda to save themselves from the ire of middle America, they will only enrage the moonbats who will then become depressed and fail to turn out to vote in 2010. If they do continue to ram through the socialist agenda, middle america will remain outraged and remember in Nov 2010.

Either way, they’re screwed.

Love it when a plan comes together!

I think within a day or two they are going to come to the conclusion that they need to get off of healthcare and launch a full-out Populist Jihad against Wall Street, Banks, Credit Card issuers, “greedy” Employers, et. al. It ain’t much but it’s looking like all they’ve got.

What? How can the great “uniter” be derailed when he still has 59 senators on his team? I guess he ain’t no uniter after all....

“We will be able to throw them out in places like California and New York now. That is Phase Two of the total destruction of 0bama and the Democrats.”

I’m praying that we can add my state to it as well. Let’s finally straighten out the mitten!
