DrewM., The Pessmistic Psychic
Jonah Goldberg has a column up today about Obama being, well, basically, either dumb or full of overweening hubris or both, because if he were smart, he would have gladly accepted the GOP demand to delay Obamacare, to give him time to sort his Hot Health Care Mess out.
Drew actually began to suspect that Obama would do that, back on September 17:
A couple of things occurred to me after writing this post this morning.
...
My concern has always been that Obama will yield on a one-year delay in order to try and ensure that the roll out isn’t the disaster it’s shaping up to be. He’ll then spend the next year insisting that Republicans help him fix it, while blaming them for keeping millions of people from getting coverage (or for not having any since so many people are about to be dumped by their employers into exchanges that will be delayed).
Well, that prediction wasn't perfect, because Obama didn't yield. But not even a psychic can foresee that level of arrogance and stupidity.
@johnekdahl also seems to have predicted something like this.
