Yeah, the nerve of these people!
In a recent call with liberal college groups (at 6:14 on the podcast), Health and Human Services secretary Kathleen Sebelius said, regarding Obamacare: “Now, it’s really disappointing that some in Congress are still trying to repeal the law and argue the results of the last two years.” Hmm. Well, let’s look back at those last two years.
In March of 2009, the Democrats enjoyed a 79-seat majority in the House of Representatives and a filibuster-proof 20-seat majority in the Senate, President Obama had an approval rating of over 60 percent, and, by a margin of 13 percentage points, Americans trusted Democrats more than Republicans on health care.
Then, after plainly losing (at that point) a year-long public debate over Obamacare, the Democrats stubbornly passed their 2,700-page overhaul by a margin of just 7 votes in the House, and (seven months later) the elections of 2010 ensued.
