A cake knife is useless in a gunfight

On healthcare reform, Obama has mainly his own high-minded fecklessness to blame. To alter the cliché, he hasn’t just brought a knife to a gunfight, he’s brought a cake knife. The GOP’s armed for war; he’s showed up with a multilayered birthday cake of a bill hardly anybody understands.While insurance reform’s opponents peddle hysterical falsehoods, Obama counters with professorial explanations. Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley’s shameful endorsement of “death panels” should have taught Obama the futility of making nice.
It’s always been a Democratic problem, and it will be the death of this country: we have no idea how to fight dirty.
Pity the man who approaches war with truth as his weapon.
So true. (Love the screenname.)
