The Weekly Enlightenment

So much was going on this week, but the big debate is still about health care. Democrats have still been cancelling townhall meetings, not advertising them, and stacking them with supporters. Obama has been trying to rally support and showing that without the teleprompter he is not as smooth a speaker and not nearly as convincing. Here is Obama saying free market companies are doing fine, but it is the Post Office in trouble. If the Post Office is having trouble (despite having laws against private companies for certain types of mail), why should we trust government to run anything else? Beyond that, supporters are still being called Nazis, suggested they are wearing swastikas, and acting like a mob. The only ones making references to Nazis are Nancy Pelosi and actual Democrats. Rush Limbaugh responds to Pelosi and the media acts like Pelosi never said anything and Rush is comparing Obama to Hitler (he isn't of course). With the mob-like behavior it is Obama supporters, not opponents, who are using thug tactics. Also amazing is that Democrats thought disruption and mob-like behavior was just fine when it was Bush who was President.

Obama has also been saying how the current system is breaking. If so, why would you allow people to keep their current plan?

Obama also isn't serious about reducing costs because if he were, he would be suggesting tort reform as well. It shows how wedded to trial lawyers he is, as well as the Democratic party.
