For the 178th time, we're not buying what you're selling.

Yesterday, Jonathan Riskind of the Columbus Dispatch highlighted yet another effort by the Obama Administration to sell Obamacare to the voting public.

President Obama is selling -- hard -- the health-care reform bill that passed in Congress along party-line votes, and that effort will include some sites in Ohio Tuesday.

Obama will be beamed around the country for a satellite tele-town hall meeting aimed at persuading seniors to embrace the new law. Proponents say it will boost seniors' access to primary care and preventive care services, while critics say cuts to private Medicare managed care plans will do more harm than good.

With the most recent numbers from Rasmussen showing 59% of Ohioans support repeal of Obamacare, and so many Democratic candidates invested in the law, you can't blame the President for making a PR push to turn public opinion around, right?

Well, you can if the President and his allies can't seem to understand the problem isn't the pitch, it's the policy.

And how do we know that? How about taking a look at how many times Democrats have organized major public relations campaigns to sell Obamacare? Let's take a look...

Um.

Whoa.

And yet poll after poll shows a public unwilling to accept what Congress and the President forced down their throats.

How many times does the Administration need smacked over the head to understand that they can't fix with words what's already broken in reality?

Democrats can gnash their teeth all they want. They can be upset that Americans as a whole, and Ohioans especially, aren't buying what they're selling. But they can't change the reality.

Obamacare is a dead law walking.
