ABC News' Steven Portnoy reports:

With a number of polls showing a sustained level of opposition to the Democrats’ health care reform efforts more than five months after passage, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said the Obama administration has “a lot of reeducation to do” heading into the midterms.

While some surveys – namely the Kaiser Family Foundation monthly tracking poll – have suggested an uptick in support for the reforms, most other surveys continue to show a steady level of opposition to the new law that remains higher than the favorable opinions of it.

“Unfortunately, there still is a great deal of confusion about what is in [the reform law] and what isn’t,” Sebelius told ABC News Radio in an interview Monday.

Reeducation? Wow I always thought that term was used by Soccialist Regimes exclusively.

I guess my satire photoshop job of Obama as Big Brother ain't so much "satire" anymore:

"Re-education":

You would hope people in government would have some sense of history and understand that certain words come with inescapable connotations. Then you think...what if they do know.

“Unfortunately, there still is a great deal of confusion about what is in [the reform law] and what isn’t,”

No worries, now that it's law, we have plenty of time to read it and find out what's in it!

Sorry Kathy. I think we’ll get all the “re-education” we’re going to need on April 15th, 2011.

“a lot of reeducation to do” heading into the midterms.

Freudian slip? Is this why the Dems at the top of the heap seem so nonchalant about what might otherwise appear to be a midterm blowout?

[Uncle Miltie]

Is Sebelius plain STUPID, or does she mean internment camps for the politically incorrect? WHICH IS IT?

[ransomnote]

Wow. Great photoshop!

[Mad Dawgg]

"Wow. Great photoshop!"

Thanks! I get a lot of hatemail about it so I figure it must be close to the mark... hahahah

[Mad Dawgg]

That is the same thing I said when I saw the headline!

Freud would smile knowingly at such a headline!

[Mad Dawgg]

Good Point!

RE :”Unfortunately, there still is a great deal of confusion about what is in [the reform law] and what isn’t,” Sebelius told ABC News Radio in an interview Monday. With several vulnerable House Democrats touting their votes against the bill, and Republicans running on repeal, Sebelius said “misinformation given on a 24/7 basis” has led to the enduring opposition nearly six months after the lengthy debate ended in Congress. “So, we have a lot of reeducation to do,” Sebelius said....
As of Monday, one million seniors have received $250 rebate checks to help them fill the “donut hole” in Medicare’s prescription drug coverage. Sebelius says by the end of the year, as many as four million Part D participants may get checks. “Once people understand that [the rebate checks are] just one of the new features for Medicare beneficiaries, they become increasingly more enthusiastic,” Sebelius told ABC News”

See that, those greedy seniors can be bought off for $250. And they got the full making work pay tax credit check bribe too?? Then they have nothing to complain about....But didnt Obama’s taxman Alan Simpson claim these greedy-geezers were bankrupting us by grubbing for our tax money?? But now this is OK to get their votes? I am so confused!

May get checks....if they vote for and contribute to Dems?

I was just thinking the same thing. Obama’s staffer saying proudly that Obama was ‘ready to rule’.
Michelle’s quote: “Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.”
And now re-education. Is it that they just can’t hide it?

<>But didnt Obama’s taxman Alan Simpson claim these greedy-geezers were bankrupting us by grubbing for our tax money??

That Simpson is a loose cannon. Obama needs a more predicable RINO on the team.

Re-education = spending tax dollars for commercials to tell us how great it is.

They can’t educate us on it, since they voted on it without reading it.
