On MSNBC’s Morning Joe this morning, former Director of the Domestic Policy Council Melody Barnes defended Obama’s suggestion that change doesn’t come from inside Washington.
Barnes insisted that Obama believes that “Change comes
“The President is reflecting the tough battles that he’s been through with health care and other issues,” Barnes said insisting that the reason that the ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’ repeal and the Affordable Health Care Act passed because of “the will of the American people.”
Change outside of Washington, Barnes noted “is that coalition of the American President linking arms with the will and the desire and the aspiration, the optimism of the American People to get things done that will actually break through and make that change,” she explained.

A majority of voters still supports repeal of President Obama’s national health care law and believes it will increase the federal deficit and the cost of health care.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 53% of Likely U.S. Voters favor repeal, while 43% are opposed. This includes 45% who Strongly Favor repeal of the health care measure and 33% who are Strongly Opposed.

Thirty-five percent (35%) of Likely U.S. Voters now say the country is heading in the right direction, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey taken the week ending Sunday, September 16.
That’s down two points from 37% the week before, the highest level of optimism since late June 2009, but is still the highest weekly finding since early April 2010.
Just who other than MSNBC and the far left was Obama locking arms with to take the US in the direction the 65% don't agree with? :roll:
