THE CONSERVATIVE REVIEW - December 22, 2009

When the Charm Rubs Off
by George Will

WASHINGTON - Rushing to lock the nation into expensive
health care and climate change commitments, Democrats are
in an understandable frenzy because public enthusiasm for
both crusades has been inversely proportional to the time
the public has had to think about them. And the president
pushing this agenda has, with his incontinent hunger for
attention, seen his job approval vary inversely with his
ubiquity. Consider his busy December -- so far.

His Dec. 1 Afghanistan speech to the nation was followed
on Dec. 3 by his televised "jobs summit." His Dec. 8
televised economics speech at the Brookings Institution
was followed on Dec. 10 by his televised Nobel Peace Prize
acceptance speech, which was remarkable for 38 uses of the
pronoun "I."

And for disavowing a competence no one suspected him of.
("I do not bring with me today a definitive solution to
the problems of war." Note the superfluous adjective.)
And for an unnecessary notification. ("Evil does exist
in the world.") And for delayed utopianism. ("We will
not eradicate violent conflict in our lifetimes." But
in someone's.) And for solemnly announcing something
undisputed. (There can be a just war.) And for intellectual
applesauce that should get speechwriters fired and editors
hired. ("We do not have to think that human nature is
perfect for us to still believe that the human condition
can be perfected." If the human "condition" can attain
perfection anyway, human nature cannot be significantly
imperfect.)

Then on Dec. 13, he was on "60 Minutes" praising himself
with another denigration of his predecessor, aka "the last
eight years." (Blighted by "a triumphant sense about war.")
When Attorney General Eric Holder announced that five
accused terrorists would be tried in federal courts, he
said: "After eight years of delay...." When the U.S.
Preventive Services Task Force made the controversial
recommendation that women should get fewer mammograms,
Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius
said: "This panel was appointed by the prior administr-
ation, by former President George Bush." In congressional
testimony, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner almost
deviated from the script. He said the Obama administration
began after "almost a decade" -- slight pause --
"certainly eight years of basic neglect."

Abroad, the fruits of the president's policy of "engage-
ment" have been meager: Witness Iran continuing its
nuclear program and China being difficult about carbon
emissions. Here is a history lesson for an administration
which, considering itself the culmination of history, is
interested only in the last eight years of it:

At the Vienna summit in June 1961, President John Kennedy,
fresh from his Bay of Pigs fiasco, was unnerved by the
brutal disdain of Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, who
considered Kennedy callow. Britain's Prime Minister Harold
Macmillan astutely noted Kennedy had "met a man who was
impervious to his charm."

A person can only be a novelty once, and only briefly,
and charm, like any commodity, when used uneconomically
becomes a wasting asset. All this is pertinent to the
Senate health care debate, now coming to a curious climax
amid another glut of careless grandiosity.

Supporters of the Senate bill say it will insure the
uninsured. The Congressional Budget Office says 24 million
of the 46.3 million uninsured will remain so. Supporters
say it will lower aggregate and individual health care
spending. The government's Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services says the nation's health care spending
and insurance premium costs will increase.

DRYER BALLS - The Natural Fabric Softener...
Going Green Has Never Been So Easy!

Dryer Balls are the safe, natural, easy way to soften
fabrics while saving money on fabric softeners, dryer
sheets and energy. Best of all...There's No Chemicals!

The unique design relaxes the fibers during the drying
cycle leaving clothes softer and towels more absorbent.

As they tumble around in the dryer they lift and separate
fabrics allowing air to flow more efficiently thus
reducing drying time up to 25%.

Use them over and over again and they last for years!
Each package contains 2 Reusable, Non-Toxic Dryer Balls.
Do yourself and the environment a favor and grab a set.

Today there are more independents than Democrats, more
independents than Republicans, and according to a recent
Gallup poll, independents' approval of the Democratic-
controlled Congress (14 percent) is lower than Republicans'
approval (17 percent). This is partly a function of the
majority party's health care monomania. Consider what
happened recently in Kentucky.

There a Republican candidate succeeded in nationalizing a
state Senate race. Hugely outspent in a district in which
Democrats have a lopsided registration advantage, the
Republican won by 12 points a seat in Frankfort by running
against Washington -- against Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid
and their health care legislation.

A CNN poll shows 36 percent of the public in favor of what
the Democratic Senate is trying to do to health care,
61 percent opposed. It is clear what the public wants
Congress to do: Take a mulligan and start over.

So Republicans can win in 2009 by stopping the bill, or
in 2010 by saying: Unpopular health legislation passed
because of a 60-40 party-line decision to bring it to
a Senate vote. Therefore each incumbent Democrat is
responsible for everything in the law.
