Voters may not buy it.

And that could mean a disastrous midterm election year for Obama and his fellow Democrats.

It's obvious the people do not want this, which is why he has to sell it. But it's all about him and the people be damned, so it had to pass to save Obama.

Oh, and how do they plan to sell this crap sandwich? All Obama, all the time. Sick of him already? You ain't seen nothing yet.

aimed at turning around Americans' opinion of the health-care bill.

Just make sure you keep calling us stupid, racist homophobes. That should help sell it.

No doubt his media handmaidens and pals in Hollywood will dutifully help "sell" this garbage with a relentless propaganda drive.

The people won't be buying it.
