Obama, No Longer Confident about Outcome of ObamaCare Decision

You may recall that after the Supreme Court heard oral arguments this past March in the ObamaCare case, President Obama publicly warned the Supreme Court not to overturn his signature legislation. The President incorrectly said the Court would be taking an “unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress.” The President’s comments were part of the overall Left’s response to the oral argument, which, by most accounts, did not go well for the Obama Administration.

Despite the negative accounts of what took place at the oral argument, the President initially kept a stiff upper lip in his public appearances, expressing confidence that the Supreme Court would uphold his health care law.

Yet, as we move closer to the time of the decision sometime this month, the President has been expressing in private a worried view about the outcome of the ObamaCare case.

As we learned today from anonymous sources, during a $35,800-a-plate private fundraising dinner held in Manhattan a couple of weeks ago, the President explained that he needs a second term in office because he may have to revise ObamaCare in light of the Court’s decision.

The President did not explain how he will amend ObamaCare, because he, like the rest of us, does not yet know how the Court will decide the case.

But, as this is a campaign year, we know that the President’s response, assuming the decision is negative against his interests, will be designed to motivate his radical Left base to help him get re-elected. So far, the President has been campaigning on an anti-Capitalist, pro-Socialist agenda. If he continues to stay true to that approach, don’t be surprised if he calls for what he really intends for this country: single payer, universal health care, along the lines of socialist countries, and obviously paid for by a steep tax increase.
