Here it is 9:50 on Thursday, June 25th, the morning after Pres.Obama’s big sell of his health care bill on ABC and everywhere I look there is no or very little mention of it. Amazingly the Huffpo doesn’t even have one single headline, blog, or lead of what happened. The kids over at Kos have nothing to say about his performance, only just the general discussion that something needs to be done without reference to the ABC infomercial.
I guess just ignoring the fact that he said (paraphrasing) that the elderly don’t need the best care because they are going to die anyway and that he would not want his family to be restricted to the government only plan, will make it all go away.
Instead of worrying about Obama having no one to act as a foil, as the RNC wanted, maybe we should just let the arrogant (you fill in the blank) talk constantly and tell us what he really thinks. That could be enough not only to scare the hell out of conservatives and libertarians in America, it appears to even be starting to scare liberals.

Drug runners will get into the business of providing scrips and surgery.
The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.
look at lay midwifery networks in places hostile to home births

People were born long before we had hospitals and insurance
izoneguy (Diary) Thursday, June 25th at 2:44PM EST (link)and logic must drive the debate on healthcare. Obama is playing too emotion & fear. I know people in a midwife network. For the most part they provide a valuable service to mothers who could not afford to deliver in a hospital or don’t want to deliver in a public hospital. The federal government ties up so many programs like this in red tape that most don’t even want to get involved. The solution is less government, less regulation and especialy tort reform. Does Obama EVER ask why medical costs keep going up….Most of the cost is due to lawsuits and needless regulation.
