Obama: Feel my contempt for your public opinion

[With polls showing that the legislation is unpopular and congressional Democrats bracing for big losses in this fall’s elections, the president urged them to ignore the politics. “I do not know how this plays politically, but I know it’s right,” he said.]

That’s exactly how a statist thinks, regardless of public opinion, (the electorate, the very people that these politicians work for) the approval, and signing of a highly unpopular legislation into law will be rammed through, just because this statist thinks he knows better than the American people.
What Obama is saying is, I don’t care what you, the American people think, you’re going to have socialized health care whether you like it or not, because I, and my cadre of intellectuals deem socialism to be in your best interests. So screw you, American people, I won the election.
Then, after that’s all said and done, it’s only a matter of time (like here in Europe) when American politicians no longer even take the time to consult public opinion, or even pretend to do so, they’ll just happily pass one piece of legislation after the other and then inform the uninformed later on.

“At stake right now is not just our ability to solve this problem, but our ability to solve any problem,” Mr. Obama told a crowd of white-coated doctors and nurses in the East Room, where a year ago he started the drive for the legislation.
With polls showing that the legislation is unpopular and congressional Democrats bracing for big losses in this fall’s elections, the president urged them to ignore the politics. “I do not know how this plays politically, but I know it’s right,” he said. “Let’s get it done.”
