Default Obama the mind reader

From:
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/...health-reform/

President Obama took to the conservative airwaves Thursday to charge that
Republican leaders are engaged in a vast right-wing conspiracy to kill
health care reform in order to repeat the 1994 mid-term takeover of
Congress, which followed the defeat of President Clinton's reform plan.

"I think early on, a decision was made by the Republican leadership that
said, 'Look, let's not give him a victory, maybe we can have a replay of
1993, '94, when Clinton came in, he failed on health care and then we won in
the mid-term elections and we got the majority. And I think there are some
folks who are taking a page out that playbook," the president said.

Appearing on the Michael Smerconish radio show, Mr. Obama said he would
"love to have more Republicans engaged and involved in this process," but he
vowed to win the battle, with or without support from the minority party in
Congress.
