Obama tightens the knot on Healthcare

We discussed earlier John McCains desire to deregulate the Health Care Industry in much the same way "we" deregulated the banking industry.

Obama hit hard on the stump. here come the ads.




This is going to get a lot of play. When it comes to Health Care like all issues people can have differing opinions while having good intentions. Single payer vs. market based vs. tax breaks etc. There can be a legitimate debate as to the best way to address the need to improve our current situtaion. The one thing that is unquestionably universal is a need to improve our current health care reality.

This opening provided solely by McCain reignites the debate. Now while we can all debate on the best way to get there it is pretty clear the the manner McCain is offering is not effective and not going to be popular. Obama will not have to stress his specific ideas simply remind people of McCains idea which tie back into the financial mess we are in and McCains approach to government which he has been advocating for 26 years.

This is may be a subtle ending point in this ad, but it is important. So many undecideds cling to the "there is something I don't trust about Obama". Can't imagine what that would be.

Obama turns this argument against McCain as he so often has. Once you neutralize that concept Obama destroys McCain on the issues and the change agent question.
