Monty Python Explains Obama’s Persistence on Health Care

January 24, 2010 by B. Daniel Blatt

Do the Obama Democrats (Obami, as Jennifer Rubin calls ’em) understand what’s been going on in the world? They’re still pressing ahead on health care, even as it becomes increasingly clear that the American people don’t want the legislation they’re proposing. Not just that, the president’s support of this overhaul hurts his party while allowing the Republican Party, the once ostensibly defunct GOP, to gain strength among independent voters.

Shouldn’t the Democrats have realized how unpopular reform was when they could not pass it on its own merits? They had to pay off certain Senators to secure their votes. The polls shows that despite the president’s repeated efforts to sell his policy, opposition to Obamacare continues to grow. And a Republican running against the health care overhaul is elected to serve out the term of the Senate’s one-time champion of said reform, winning a decisive victory in Masachusetts, supposedly the bluest of blue states.

But, even as Democrats keep losing, they persist, much like the Black Knight:

Note how said knight says, he “always triumphs.” He believes the mythology written about him–much as Democrats believed what they were reading in the press–with a Democratic supermajority and a charismatic president, this time, a health care overhaul would finally pass.

In this case, their “myth” blinds them to reality.

    I’d just about forgotten just how funny those Monty Python skit were! I’m sure the series is somewhere out there on DVD, and one day I must pick up a box set or two.

    There is a certain ‘Ahab and the Great White Whale’ aspect to their obsession.

    Look, you stupid bastard, you’ve got no votes left!

    Oh Dan, the libs will rain Hell down on you for comparing Obama to the Black Knight. Then doubly so for highlighting a video in which pansy is used so frequently. Liberal panty wetting in 3…2…1…

    in 2003, my then 6 year old nephew auto tripped with me to Michigan and watched, back to back to back, M.P. and the Holy Grail 7 times. By the time we got to my home town, he could do both parts of the bit with a perfect accent. . . not bad considering he was born and raised in Memphis TN.

    errr….I’d fast foward or mute the Castle Anthrax bits.

    And as a travel mate, he is better than 90% of adults out there.

    I forget who said this, but it’s a great point: Boomer lefties have worked and waited their entire lives for this political moment. So they’re not about to give up. Otherwise, their sad, overly politicized lives will have been for nothing.
