That big whoosh you hear is the air rushing out of President Obama’s PR blitzkrieg to hurry Congress into approving his nationalized health care reform proposal before leaving town next week for the annual August recess. Nearly two weeks’ worth of carefully orchestrated speeches and events was capped by a White House news conference Wednesday evening in which Obama said “the American people cannot afford to wait for reform any longer.” Thursday morning, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid – one of the president’s staunchest supporters on Capitol Hill – put the kibosh to the push, declaring that no vote will be held in the Senate until September. Even as Obama was yet campaigning in Cleveland, Reid wisely noted that “it’s better to have a product É based on quality and thoughtfulness rather than to go jamming something through.”
