It's getting kind of old, isn't it? President Obama started pushing his health care takeover nearly a year ago. 52 speeches later, he is still pushing it. Sometimes it seems like the President is so shocked by the public's refusal to just shut up and accept his Brilliant Enlightened All-Things-To-All-People Health Care Plan that he is actually incapable of changing the subject.

But there is a twisted logic at work behind the seeming chaos that's taken over the White House. The President does have a plan. His unyielding health care campaign is designed not to win you over but to wear you down, in the hope that at some point you'll just throw your hands up and say, "Fine, do whatever you want, just shut up and leave me alone."

And it's not just you that he's going after! The President, recognizing that many legislators' careers hang in the balance, is attempting to use the looming threat of electoral rejection to persuade Congress to pass his nightmarish bill and be done with it. He knows that they don't want to be talking about this monstrosity two weeks from now, let alone in the fall. That's why he's telling them to swallow their pride in the name of ObamaCare - if only so he'll change the subject. It's leadership by attrition; hardly inspiring, potentially effective, and undoubtedly worrying in a free society.
