IS THE GOP GAINING STEAM AS HEALTH CARE SPUTTERS?


Politico is making the argument that the GOP is gaining steam off of the sputtering health care drama. Before we go ahead and start showering the GOP with praise in their attempts to thwart Obama care let's picture what immigration reform will look like. Yeesh. You think the health care fight is bad? This is a party that had no answer for the personal appeal of Obama in 2008 and has now found it's voice. By disrupting Obama's attempts to push forward at what some feel is too quick of a speed. The truth is , with 2010's mid term elections on the way, Obama gambled that now was the best time to go for health care. Not AFTER the mid terms when his approval rating would be left up to speculation. 

Approval for Obama care is 43 percent, disapproval is at 49. In the game of politics , where people don't matter, but winning power does, maybe the GOP has gained a little steam. The steam will sputter though, if they don't have any ideas other than getting in the way of someone else's . That trick can only fool people for so long.
