and reflects, at least in this particular incident, what happens whn Obama goes off TOTUS. The real Obama starts to show through. Not saying good, bad or indifferent...it is more real than the canned, usual prepared Obama rhetoric.

One would think on this issue there would have been some anticipation? Some preparation! Does it present an attitude?

I also found the readers comments that follow the article to be very interesting. Where were the supporting commentaries?
Hmmmmnnnn. Where are the staunch supporters of Obama and what do they have to offer in support of their man's health care proposal?

Another article this morning stated that the program would/could not go into effect until around 2018. And where will Obama be in 2018? Ten years to get the infrastructure developed, written and implemented.
We went to the moon in less time than that.
There was commentary against drilling for oil in the US to stave of foreign oil...the rhetoric from the administration was that was too long range and far out to be practical.....THE TIME FRAME BEING CRITICIZED WAS 10 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If this legislation should happen to go forward then we will most certainly be a nation truly on a path to certain decline. With no checks and balances we should be very concerned.

As another aside has anybody seen or heard from their representatives about the impact on those of us on Medicare and supplemental insurance?
