Robert Samuelson at Newsweek trashes Obama's health care oppression plan, explaining that what Obama calls reform isn't reform at all, but more of the same, bloated, wasteful, corrupt federal programs that do so much damage already. He exposes Obama as a liar to boot.
"The most misused word in the health-care debate is "reform." Everyone wants reform, but what constitutes reform is another matter. If you listen to President Obama, his reform will satisfy almost everyone. It will insure the uninsured, control runaway health spending, subdue future budget deficits, preserve choice for patients, and improve quality of care. These claims are self-serving exaggerations and political fantasies. They have destroyed what should be a serious national discussion of health care.While Samuelson has a reputation for impartiality, Newsweek does not. The bloom is off the rose. Even his liberal cheerleaders are turning on him. Better late than never, I guess. I think this health care debate will end the radical Obama presidency. He'll either have to evolve like Bill Clinton did or become irrelevant. It'll be much harder for a lifelong dangerous demagogue like Obama to evolve than it was for self-serving Bill Clinton.
...
Judged objectively, reform may do exactly the opposite of what Obama says. It would bloat spending, not restrain it. But because the president is so well spoken, he has the ability to make misleading statements sound reasonable or sophisticated. Still, they're misleading.
...
He offers the illusion of reform while perpetuating the status quo of four decades: expand benefits, talk about controlling costs."
Democrat infighting blocks health care oppression bill. It would be easy to think some Democrats had scruples or that they were really conservative, but that's not true. It's just that after voting for Obama's stimulus boondoggle and his energy oppression plan, some Democrats fear losing their jobs because they come from more conservative districts. Thank goodness. All the aristocrats of either party care about is their own power.
Supreme Iranian tyrant Khamenei orders President Ahmadinejad to fire his moderate vice-president.
Lawfully ousted ex-president of Honduras symbolically crosses back into Honduras. It seems to me all this shows is he's ousted, undeterred by the rule of law and desperate to stay relevant. Obama, Chavez, Castro and Noriega combined can't save their fellow radical leftist tyrant wannabe from the rule of law in Honduras. Maybe I should move to Honduras. We used to call Honduras a banana republic. Now Honduras is the champion of the rule of law and the US is a banana republic.
