Liberal Bias?

I saw David Gregory interview on the Today Show last week. I think it was Friday. Anyway, he and Matt Lauer were talking about how Meet The Press was going to focus on the health care debate. Matt asked something about whether it was dying on the vine. David said that Obama learned from the Clintons' attempts in the 1990s.

FLG thought to himself, "Really? What did they learn from that?"

David continues, "Obama learned that the Democrats were punished in the midterm elections of 1994 for not getting health care reform through."

FLG yells at the TV, "You fucking moron! The problem was their ambitious, sweeping health care reform agenda, which freaked out the American people. This resulted in it failing and the midterm election problem. Not that it didn't get through."

FLG thought to himself. Is David Gregory really this stupid? And thought, possibly, but probably not. So, he needed another explanation. And it was -- liberal bias. He must really believe that people in 1992 or now will punish Obama and the Dems for not getting their agenda. He must assume that the electorate is strongly pro these reforms, when the poll numbers indicate the opposite. Or at the very least a strong split.

The American people, you understand, back the strong horse. That is why the 1st Cavalry is redeploying from Bagdad to the offices of BlueCrossBlueShield. It will result in increased poll numbers, help the mission succeed, and possibly bring to the health care system the procurement efficiencies of the DoD.
