Obama in the process of preparing to roll up his sleeves

If you've been watching the health care debate you've certainly had some question. Namely "I'm fucking relying on a bunch of ignorant elected money whores deigning to give be the option of getting health care coverage like theirs?" and "Why in the name of the Baby Jesus is Obama letting the dipshits in the Senate lead the way here?" which is usually followed by you slamming your head off of something hard and uttering some form of the phrase "We're all doomed to die of the plague in the gutters." Well Obama has heard the sound of skull meat connecting with various forms of lumber and decided that maybe he should, I don't know, do something.

With skepticism about the president's health-care reform effort mounting on Capitol Hill -- even within his own party -- the White House has launched a new phase of its strategy designed to dramatically increase public pressure on Congress: all Obama, all the time.

Senior White House aides promise "an aggressive public and private schedule" for Obama as he presses his case for reform, including a prime-time news conference on Wednesday, a trip to Cleveland, and heavy use of Internet video to broadcast his message beyond the reach of the traditional media.

"Our strategy has been to allow this process to advance to the point where it made sense for the president to take the baton. Now's that time," said senior adviser David Axelrod.

First off: going to Cleveland? You want to know the only thing that you can convince people to support by going to Cleveland? Burning down Cleveland. Secondly: now is the best time for the President to take the baton? Wouldn't it have been better for Barry to take the baton before a dozen terrible senators got done diddling health care in the backseat of a Camaro and before the collection of idiots that fancy themselves centrists tried to put the breaks on everything? Before his health care numbers got driven below 50%?

Still he's going to meet some rough opposition. The GOP is deploying it's secret weapon:...Michael Steele? Really? That's the guy they want out opposing Obama? The same stupid one who runs the RNC? True to his incompetent form, Steele was out today describing Congressional Democrats and Obama as forming a dishonest 'cabal' that would deny people coverage and ration care. Ahh leave it to Steele to choose the exact words and descriptions that describe the practices of the health care industry. Next he'll accuse Democrats of being made up of rich, old, white southerners. But despite withering critiques from a moron, Obama is going to wear out some shoe leather convincing people that this private plan, health care thing is a good idea. He's voluntarily going to Cleveland, how much more serious and self-sacrificing can the man get on the issue?
