Gee, I’m almost disappointed that they’ll be using DNC funds to pay for it. Can’t they use taxpayer money? We’re going to throw a trillion dollars down the O-Care sinkhole over the next 10 years. What’s another $75K?
Pollsters Geoff Garin and Joel Benenson,and White House aides David Axelrod, Dan Pfeiffer, Phil Schiliro, and Jim Messina addressed the Democratic Policy Committee’s regular Thursday lunch in the Mansfield Room to outline the Democratic National Committee’s $50-million electoral plan, and to discuss the political calendar and the defense of health care.
Pfeiffer, the White House communications director, said they expected to announce a very senior, and well known, communications hire for the push on health care messaging, the source said. The messaging will — as it has — focus on “deliverables” in the legislation, like a small-business tax credit and other features, Pfeiffer said.
Hey, remember two weeks ago when The One laughed at the media for pronouncing ObamaCare a bust with the electorate after just one week? How are we doing now, three weeks after passage? Safe yet to pronounce it a popular bust? Gallup says that fully 76 percent of adults are expecting additional legislation within the next five years; perhaps not coincidentally, Obama himself is promising further action to “get it right.” I’m guessing that the fact that they need a full-time spin doctor to sell this boondoggle after the modern-day Pericles spent a year talking it up on television might be a sign that they’re worried. Exit question: The new spokesman isn’t … Romney’s guy, is it?
