Paul Ryan talks about ObamaCare

The interviewer states the normal liberal press crap.  Why would you need to bother reading a bill before voting on it?  Paul does well, but then gets hit with an interesting question.

Since this is so important why go to recess instead of grinding away at it?  Oh, that was a good one.  Why, indeed.

I can understand why the Republicans wanted the recess.  The more people are learning about this, the worse it is looking for Obama and his agenda.  Right now, we have the ball rolling in getting that information out there, so the recess will be well used.

How about the Democrats?  Why didn’t they push to delay the recess?  I honestly don’t know, but I think its a sign of severe weakness.  If it was close to passing, delay the recess and get it done.  If its not close to passing, the polls show that support for the bill is getting worse and worse and the Dems have yet to even slow that decline, never mind reverse it.

So what are they thinking?  Obviously, delaying their recess is something they are all loathe to do, but with the pressure Obama was putting on them, I wouldn’t think it outside the realm of possibility.

Personally, I think that they plan on threatening, bribing, and convincing the Blue Dog group to go with the plan and getting the votes they need to push it past the GOP, the desires of the public be damned.  They need the time to get their group into line to be able to force this through.  Of course, that whole plan hinges on pushing their desires, not the needs of the people of the country.
