Senate Democratic leaders yesterday bought the 60th vote they need to impose the heavy hand of government on the American health-care market. Failing a revolt by the more liberal House, “Obamacare” is looking more and more like the future for this country.

But “we, the people” always get the last word, and hopefully the decision by President Obama and Democrats in Congress to force on this nation a law opposed by a majority of Americans will prove to be their undoing politically.

Ray Stevens, my favorite comedic singer as a child, gives voice to that possibility in a new song. The best line: “Please tell Nancy Pelosi, we’re gonna do the hokey pokey — put the right ones in, pull the left ones out.”

And one of Stevens’ oldies but goodies, “The Mississippi Squirrel Revival,” is a metaphor for how the nation reached this point. Obama is the squirrel who went berserk in the first self-righteous Congress, and liberals are singing “Hallelujah” to his plan for socialized medicine.
