Most people looked at the President’s March 18th health care deadline and saw a totally unrealistic, pie-in-the-sky, hail Mary pass from a guy who has set down several totally unrealistic, pie-in-the-sky, hail Mary pass deadlines in the past.
Remember, when he wanted a health care law on his desk last August? Or when he wanted it done before Thanksgiving? Or Christmas?
Now he wants it done the day after the most important holiday of the year, St. Patrick’s Day.
My middle name is Patrick, so I have always taken St. Patrick’s Day very seriously.
I believe that St. Patrick’s Day should be a national holiday, and as most people know about me, I don’t do any meetings on that day, unless, they are held at a very particular place.
Having a health care vote on the day after St. Patrick’s Day offends me personally. Everybody knows that the day after St. Patrick Day should be a day of reflection and quiet contemplation, not a day of yelling, screaming, arm-twisting and fulminating at the mouth. My head hurts just thinking about it.
