A conservative activist and former presidential candidate says despite the recent election setbacks, he does not think President Obama will moderate his ways and that he will continue to push his left wing agenda on the American people.
Saturday night, the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives narrowly passed landmark healthcare legislation that includes a government health insurance plan. The final vote was 220-215, with only one Republican voting with the Democrats. The vote was portrayed by the mainstream media as a victory for President Barack Obama, who is now urging the Senate to "take the baton and bring this effort to the finish line." Gary Bauer, Chairman of American Values, says, "I really believe the evidence is overwhelming that President Obama is committed to making fundamental, unchangeable alterations in American society. I think he believes [the] government ought to run more of the economy [and] that successful people ought to be paying much higher taxes." Bauer does not think the recent gubernatorial election setbacks will dissuade the president from his agenda. "I think he's so committed to this thing that his rhetoric may change a little, but I don't believe he's going to back off on any of these issues in the months ahead," Bauer predicts. Even so, Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) is already hinting that senators may not be able to finish a healthcare measure this year.
