Howdy right ‘cher in th’ Middle of th’ week…
We’re a-tunin’ in to the conversation over at Earl ‘n’ Lester’s Bait Shop and Sushi Bar on the Caroliner line… Lots going on in the news world and every body’s chewing it over. I hope you have a chance to listen in.
With the economy in the tank, unemployment rising beyond what the President (or his advisers) thought was a solid limit – and the stock market not knowing what kind of signals the Fed is flashing – everyone seems to be looking over their shoulders.
Monday, I put commentary on the air about Senator Grassley looking like he might be ‘plucked’ out of the ranks of the Senate minority to become a ‘hero’ in the Obama camp by leading an effort to have a ‘public’ health care plan – which would of course bear his name in at least half the title – as an addition to his Senate Heritage. He’s often said what a good friend Arlen Specter is – the RINO Republican who switched sides now that it looks like he can’t win a Pennsylvania GOP Primary next year and returned to the Democrat party where he started his political career many years ago. So… Senator Grassley – looking at toughening opposition possibly getting prepared to challenge him in 2012 may well be deciding to put a little political capital in the bank and see if he can’t secure his place in history by being a White Knight to save the Obama faltering health plan. But my guesstimate raised not a peep of comment.
It’s not sure how that will play with Senator Ted Kennedy who wants it to be HIS legacy… but you can always have a hyphenated plan… How does Kennedy-Grassley Public Health plan sound… Or might it be better Grassley – Kennedy? Anyway… The Washington Post speculates there’s a strong possibility even though Grassley tweeted the President about nightclubbing in Paris while lecturing the Senators about delivering him a health plan on an impossible schedule – it may be just a ‘hiding the ball’ game the Senators are playing.
Oh well… it’s just the health of the nation – both physical and fiscal – they’re playing with. Only this game has stakes that are considerably higher than those at
Cordially, IN HIM
Jack
