However, I do not believe that health care is the "real" issue that the Obama Administration is "hell bent" on passing. I don't even think it is the Stimulus Package, the War in Afghanistan, the closing of Gitmo or the KSM trial. I believe that the real agenda of the Obama Administration is to pass some kind of Cap & Trade bill. The underlying reason for the passage of a Cap & Trade bill is to give the Obama Administration an important link to the world economy that they desperately want. The Obama Administration is a master of political campaign and any time they are outside this mode, they fail! As a result, they are continuing in the campaign mode and they understand that the first rule in passing an unpopular agenda is to propose an agenda even worse than the unpopular agenda! Cap & Trade is that unpopular culprit! The strategy they are using to pass the Cap & Trade agenda is to keep introducing issues that are even worse than Cap & Trade, in the hope that they will finally be able to pass the Cap & Trade agenda. At first, the stimulus package was introduced to take the pressure off of Cap & Trade, but Cap & Trade stayed in the public mind. Next health care was introduced. But Cap & Trade continued as a public issue. Then came the War in Afghanistan, the closing of Gitmo, the stateside trial of KSM and more. All have diverted the national attention from Cap & Trade but it has not been enough to get Cap & Trade off the public radar screen! So, what is next? Who knows? But it will come to the national attention and sooner or later the Obama Administration will be able to pass a Cap & Trade bill! Once the Cap & Trade bill is finally passed, the Obama Administration will start to "see the light" and they will start to back away from these other issues! The problem will be that the Cap & Trade damage to the economy will be done and Obama will be ready to move to the world stage to enforce it!
