JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: COLUMN SAYS OBAMACARE WON'T DIE SWIFTLY FROM REPUBLICANS - OF COURSE IT IS ALREADY VISIBLY DYING - PRESS USE OF TERM "OBAMACARE"AS PROPAGANDA


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY KELSEY SNELL AND MIKE DEBONIS IN THE INDEPENDENT


"Why Obamacare won't die a swift death"

But it is already half dead before the Republicans even get started.

You just don't report its many failings to readers.

And the name of that nasty patchwork of quickie compromises enables you, the press, with every headline to, in effect, signal what a consequential President Obama supposedly is.

My God the National Health is named after him!

But of course, it is not. It is just a nickname, again promoted by the press.

And it has been unraveling since its inception, as a lot of smart people said it would then.

Obama has taken no serious steps to fix it, shown no leadership, but then Obama showed almost no real leadership - the genuine tough-minded leadership shown by great presidents to get what they want - in getting it set up.

He really is that poor a leader, and the same weak character shows in practically everything he has done.
