After more than two years, liberal pundits and cheer-leaders on the left for President Obama are still crowing about the great things in store for the American people because of ObamaCare.
Unlike former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her illiberal ilk, the super-majority of Americans who oppose ObamaCare did read the fine print. Like them, I listened to the speeches, I considered the arguments, both for and against, and I am all the more for repealing the health insurance mandate.
The majority of Americans opposed this oppressive and offensive invasion of states, peoples, and individual liberties. The more that the president promoted this signature piece of legislation, the greater the number of people, left and right, Republican and Democrat, who signaled their disapproval of the bill.
In spite of the reasoned and informed opinion of the American people on ObamaCare, New York Times Columnist Thomas Friedman still argues -- like on the April First edition of Meet the Press -- that the Obama Administration has not overcome the communication problem associated with the President's massive legislation, despite the myriad number of speeches, press releases, and townhall meetings that erupted in bursts of laughter and fits of outrage around the country.
Friedman has either been living in a cave for the past two years, or just like the President Friedman's sympathies for liberal statism have convinced him that the average American is a blithering idiot who must be spoon-fed by the state, or must have government intervention shoved down their throat, as if more government and less liberty is good for us.
No matter how calm and self-presuming his assurance on the growth of government into health care, Mr. Friedman is an April fool for insisting that Obama has failed to persuade the American voters on ObamaCare because he has not taken enough care to explain all the good that entails for the country.
