He said:
“politically, this health care reform issue could end up as a lose-lose situation for President and administration… If health care reform does not pass it’ll look like the Democratic Party and this administration can’t get their act together. If they pass health care reform, we’re really not going to see any sort of tangible result for years, leaving no quantitative way for the Democrats to measure its potential for success in 2010 or even 2012….this administration has already been saddled with the narrative (fair or unfair) that they want to shove big government programs down the throats of Americans.”
I do not agree to Mr. Brody’s statement.
I believe, President’s biggest problem of not passing health care reform will be gainning public’s perception of his failure of not delivering his reform promise. This will rule over anything else. Passing health care reform will become his historical political achievement, even with weak one, after many ex-presidents failed. Not working economy, failed reforms, and continuously malfunctioning social system will be core issues and bite President/administration most, not the ideological debate of big government. If everything goes fine, people will forget about “What Big Government?.” Public seem to change their mind all the time.
