Hume predicts Obama's presidency could be crippled by passage of health care reform

Do you think that Brit Hume actually has a personality?

Maybe Barack Obama can turn to Christianity for forgiveness, eh, Brit?

I'm shocked, shocked that a Fox News representative would make such a prediction (here's your Judas money, sir).

The way they see the world.. people must REALLY adore being kicked off insurance when they get sick.

I thought I read Hume say 'Maybe some crippled Americans could be helped by this health care reform.' I didn't think that could be right so I put on my glasses.

The yeast that the Fox bots have mixed into these stories about HealthCare may have been just a little too much. The bubble created by too many ingredients seem to have exploded into a thousand tiny pieces.

Sorry Fox, elections matters....start you campaigning now..why waste a day.

"Hume predicts Obama's presidency could be crippled by passage of health care reform..."

...if Fox News has anything to say about it.

In other words he's screwed no matter what he does!GOP'ers actually believe that they can pick up voters on REPEAL of HCR? Telling people that they are going to be kicked out of their insurance plans because it's socialism? GOOD LUCK!

Here's a story you won't see on Fox
http://www.aolnews.com/healthcare/article/raucous-ugly-build-up-to-house-health-care-vote/19407962?icid=main|main|dl1|link4|http://www.aolnews.com/healthcare/article/raucous-ugly-build-up-to-house-health-care-vote/19407962

Yep, just like, according to Ronald Reagan, Medicare would lead to the destruction of America and the creation of the Socialist States of America! Oh no!

Except, like most fearmongering, he was totally wrong about that. FOX Propaganda is grasping at straws because they fully well realize how badly a successful health reform law would be for the Republican Party.

A month they said, we will stop this at all costs to cripple Obama's presidency, now, if it passes, it will cripple Obama's presidency.

Certainly not a wave of gushing on fox unless of course, the gushing is for the obstructionists. I mean the republicans.

There is NO CENTER HUME. You idiots have strayed so far off the cliff that the center is now the republicans of five years ago - bush in his first term would essentially be the center right now. And if obama moves to that right-wing crap - the GOP will move even further down the drain of extremist, inflammatory, mccarthy-like tactics.

Clinton's center is not that far from this healthcare bill - this bill was essentially the compromise raised by republicans after clinton's proposal failed to garner support. The dems have centrists - they have blue dogs who consistently side with republicans. The GOP has extremists - universal opposition to a very centrists bill. You think liberals or progressives are happy with this result? Read that huffpost article written by Jane H for some perspective. She addresses all the reasons why progressives should or do hate this bill. If progressives hate it, it is definitely not extreme as reform goes. Of course, that means it won't be as effective as hoped and may not have the positive consequences that really address the issue. This of course, will be framed by republicans as a bad bill when in fact, the reason it won't be effective may happen because obama tried to pander to the right and the special interests far more than was necessary.

Hahahaha Hume you are so predictable and humorous. You look like a peacock displaying feathers sitting there on a throne of some kind. And this crippling comment, it is the party of no that is crippling his presidency by not confirming his appointees in reasonable time, among other things.

Funny that they quote Churchill in the beginning. He was a conservative who helped socialize medicine in the UK.

I also once heard Margret Thatcher on C-span say good things about the UK health care back in the 90's.

Socialized Medicine did not kill their political careers

Hume had some credibility when on one of the major networks.

Since being paid well for the minor leagues of news, he spews the company line devoid of any substance

A few things here:
a) Politics is not a sport, but if you want to treat it like that, clearly it's in Obama's interest to get HCR passed. Doing otherwise will be a failure.
b) As far as the "overwhelming majorities," keep in mind that FDR, JFK, and LBJ (until 1966) had well over 60 votes in the Senate for much of their presidencies. Exactly 60 is a big majority, but it's not overwhelming - it's ridiculous to think that Obama should have an easy time getting an entire party to vote for something, and that anything else is a failure of leadership.
c) Obama is completely intellectually inclined to govern from the centre; in fact, his ability to see both sides of every issue will certainly become a hallmark of his presidency, and distinguished him as a scholar and a legislator. I think he's emotionally and temperamentally a liberal - certainly he's driven by empathy - but he's also very clearly interested in working with Republicans.

In short, Hume's "political analysis" is nothing more than wishful thinking, baseless-bashing, and an overwhelming dominance by a political agenda. I.e., it's Fox News.
