Yes, “It’s not over until it’s over,” was the famous quote by that baseball Hall of Fame philosopher, Yogi Berra.  And, never in his wildest dreams did he think his quote might someday be associated with the historic passage of health care reform.

The media and the Democrats tried to play- up today as Super Sunday, the day of the showdown after more than one year of debate on President Obama’s signature legislation, some calling it a make or break for his Presidency.

The House had to pass the Senate bill today without change.  This then can be followed by reconciliation with amendments to correct some of the deals such as the corn husker, gator aid, Louisiana purchase and a hospital for Sen. Dodd.

The assumption here is that the reconciliation and the amendments will satisfy the House, if they don’t then the bill can bounce back and forth like a ping pong ball.

Now muddying up the bill to some degree is the executive order Obama signed today to satisfy Rep. Bart Stupak’s concerns over abortion.  The executive order is not worth the paper it is written on, although it clearly states the bill will not fund abortions; the order can be rescinded by legislation or by another president, nevertheless Obama got the votes in exchange for the order.

The GOP can then find further procedural maneuvers to delay the actual implementation of health care, both in the Senate and possibly the house, although Obama may have signed the bill  into law in a possible White House ceremonial staged event to bolster his unpopular presidency while honoring in some way the late Ted Kennedy who was a major advocate for health care reform.

On another front, there will be challenges by some 38 States as to the constitutionality of forcing people  to have health insurance and the implications upon the States.  These suits will most likely go to the Supreme Court to be settled.

So as Yogi said, ‘It’s not over until it’s over.’

I think Obama initially embarked on a no win situation.  The win projects losses for his party in the November mid-term elections.  And, a potential loss of control of Congress, making the remainder of his first term as president difficult at best.

On the other hand, a loss would have brought focus on a failing presidency, because of the inexperience and amateur moves the president showed failing to address jobs, the deficit, and the economy over health care.  And then, when forcing health care legislation he turned the leadership issue over to Congress to resolve -  a sophomoric move at best.

And, if the polls of today hold tomorrow – 55% of Americans opposed health care reform, especially government run health care, and only35% were for it -which very well could result in Obama becoming a one term president.

I see the win as a loss for Obama, our country and we the people who he and his Party didn’t listen to.

Obama has proven to be a divisive President – not the uniter he promised to be.

Common sense told the people that Obama’s policies would take the country into bankruptcy and failure; his policies further mimic the philosophy of Alinsky, Cloward and Piven strategies, which professes wealth redistribution, as he did during his campaign, and a national direction toward socialism eventually leading to Marxism.  This health care bill, when examined carefully, clearly represents these philosophies when it comes to taxes on all of the people, even his ‘middle class.’

Although there are pundits out there that believe the public will rally around Obama during the mid-term elections and in 2012, I don’t think that will be the case.  Not when taxes will be collected from the public for 4 years receiving, little if any health care benefit, and not total benefit until 2014.

Perception is in the eye of the beholder.  Obama’s perception does not represent the publics.

As for the Democrats who followed their Pied Piper to the wheels under the bus, I hope, while they are popping the corks and celebrating passage of health care, those up for re-election in November got some assurances from Obama on the politician’s 4-R’s of survival.

As explained by Brian Williams of Fox News, the 4 R’s consist of 1.Re-election and help from the White House; 2.Riches – fund raising help from Obama; 3. Reputation, bolstering of the candidate by Obama and finally 4. Rehabilitation from the White House should the candidate loose – which a certain number will – causing Obama finding jobs in return for their mis-guided loyalty.

Among all of the famous Yogi quotes there is another that also applies to this analysis, ‘When you come to the fork in the road take it.’

It appears that Obama and his Democratic-controlled Congress took the road less traveled and one that doesn’t represent the wishes of the people.

Now, the bottom line of this long overdrawn drama will take place by the people, for the people will cast its vote at election booths across the nation this November and in 2012 and will tell the administration what it thinks of its policies.

Obama, much like the Japanese feared in World War II, has awakened a ‘sleeping giant’ – the American people.
