A defeated Napoleon at Waterloo
"If we're able to stop Obama on [health care reform], it will be his Waterloo. It will break him." Senator Jim DeMint, July 20, 2009
After being the defining feature of Obamacare and vowing that he would not sign a reform bill without it President Obama on Saturday unexpectedly downplayed the significance of a public option (socialized medicine in disguise) and told a Townhall meeting:
"All I'm saying is, though, that the public option, whether we have it or we don't have it, is not the entirety of health care reform. This is just one sliver of it, one aspect of it."
Was this an admission of defeat for the public option and the great historic opportunity for socializing American medicine? In other words, has Obama met his Waterloo with Obamacare joining Hillarycare on the ash heap of leftist history? Or is he on his way to a Napoleonic defeat? It certainly looks that way.
The townhall meeting was held at Grand Junction, Colorado, the state where Obama signed into law his disastrous, failed, phony "stimulus" bill, which has done much to undermine his credibility on healthcare reform and everything else. Moreover, and more importantly as an unmistakable sign of coming defeat, the townhall meeting was held on August 15th, the 240th anniversary of Napoleon Bonaparte's birth (see)*.
*Napoleon was born August 15, 1769
Postscript
From Obama's 48th birthday on August 4th to August 15th was 11 days. Amazingly 11 is a factor of the number 1815 165x. 1815 was the year of Napoleon's defeat by Wellington at Waterloo. If August 15th wasn't exactly Obama's Waterloo moment on healthcare reform this numeric sign indicates that he's on his way to it.
