The Patriot Post® · 'The Debate Is Over' Mantra

Here’s what political commentator George Will had to say over the weekend about Team Obama’s favorite slogan: “‘The debate is over’ is something of a mantra. ‘The debate is over on climate change; everyone, be quiet.’ ‘The debate is over about early childhood education; everyone, be quiet.’ Lots of things are supposedly over, and you hear that from people who are finding the evidence inconvenient.” Will added, “The argument about ObamaCare is not just about ObamaCare. It’s about the nature of the American regime: what kind of country we want to live in. And therefore it’s going to tick on for some while.” There’s also a blatant double standard. Obama “says we should all quit talking about this, except Democrats this fall should campaign on the basis of the multiform excellence of ObamaCare.”
