President Obama is blitzing the media again, saying America will grow to love his health care agenda. He’s banking on his charm offensive because, judging from recent polls, we don’t love that agenda at all.
His message resembles the show-stopping song belted out by Effie in “Dreamgirls.” Obama is channeling those defiant and clinging lyrics, “I’m staying and you . . . you’re gonna love me!”
The defiant approach didn’t work for Effie in the movie, but Jennifer Hudson won an Oscar for her incredible performance. Obama may likewise win awards for effort, but a great performance doesn’t fix the problems with his agenda anymore than it fixed Effie’s woes.
To millions of Americans, Obama’s message reminds them more of George Orwell’s “1984,” where everyone must love Big Brother—or else.
