POST STILL PUSHING OBAMACARE

Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne is flacking Obamacare.

President Obama can still secure major health-care legislation this year if he learns from his mistakes in recent months and spends more time reminding Americans why they were once eager for fundamental change.

I've been following the debate fairly closely, and all the polls I've seen tend to indicate that most Americans recognize the system needs improvement but are not "eager for fundamental change."

[A]dvocates of the status quo filled the vacuum -- often with outright lies.

And advocates of Obamacare never, ever, lied? C'mon, EJ.

[T]he administration now needs to lay out clear and understandable goals, so it can bargain from a position of strength. Dare one say it? That was Ted Kennedy's way.

And Ted Kennedy didn't get his way, either.
