Apparently I’m the only “right-leaning” blogger who thinks the Obama administration has been reasonably skillful as a political matter in its pursuit of health care reform, even if I disagree with its goals. Maybe I’m just grading on the curve by way of comparison with the Clintonites’ fiasco.

Yay, I’m back (after a long absence).
Anyway, on this, let’s see, he’s got a Democrat-controlled House, a Democrat super-majority in the Senate, rode into office on the most ridiculous media-love-fest in my lifetime, and he still didn’t get, well, anywhere.
That he is doing better than the Clintoncare boondoggle (SO FAR, anyway) isn’t really saying much when you look at the massive stack of advantages he had.
And, you’re comparing him to how HILLARY fared on that, and she’s the most polarizing figure in politics in a long, long time. Obama should have been able to get done whatever the frick he wanted – thankfully, he’s inept (as I said long before he got elected).
