Liberals (myself included) have wanted President Obama to get tough on opponents of healthcare reform. He’s showing signs. From today’s edition of The Wall Street Journal.
On the Michael Smerconish radio show Thursday, the president said: “Early on a decision was made by the Republican leadership that said, ‘Look, let’s not give them a victory and maybe we can have a replay of 1993-94 when Clinton came in. He failed on health care, and then we won in the midterm elections, and we got the majority.’”
It was the most direct shot he has taken at Republican leaders, and it came as the president was trying to reassure liberal activists that his knees weren’t buckling, as one supporter suggested.
He also reiterated his support for a public option.
