President Obama means well. I have no doubt that he strives to do good. But he usually doesn’t know how.
Experienced poker players understand well the adage: Play the hand you’ve got. So why did Barack Obama, taking office in the early stages of a serious recession, waste his electoral winnings on an untenable, complicated health plan when his countrymen wanted reassurance of their economic future? Why did he think he could transform a pair of deuces into a royal flush? Because he believed he knew what was best for America regardless of what its people thought. As a man of the left, he thinks in terms of what people “should” do, and if they “won’t” do as desired, compulsion is appropriate.
