analyzed by someone who knows of what he speaks and has no political axe to grind.
Written by Michael Tanner of the CATO institute....a man who has written book anti Republican....who is a senior fellow at CATO, who has been super critical of the Bush administration.
Michael Turner, who is considered an absolute expert by all on health care and social security...
"All sizzle, no substance O's promises still don't match his proposal"
"For example, as he has in virtually every appearance he makes, the president repeated "Nothing in this plan will require you or your employer to change the coverage or the doctor you have." He even repeated it. "Nothing in our plan requires you to change what you have."
That of course is quite simply untrue. The president favors a requirement that everyone must carry basic health insurance. But the individual mandate that he favors and included in the bills before Congress doesn't just say you have to have insurance: It specifies what benefits your insurance must have, even if you don't want those benefits or they boost the cost of your policy."

This article is worth a read for those of you who think our President was forthcoming last night.....there is much more in the article....the speech was just great from an oratory sense but as always it lacks any facts or substance.
This is the first sentence of the article...
"'Razzle-dazzle 'em," sang Billy Flynn in Chi cago, "Give 'em an act with lots of flash in it / And the reaction will be passionate."
And this is the last sentence...
"But then, maybe this wasn't about substance after all. As Billy Flynn knew: "Long as you keep 'em way off balance / How can they spot you've got no talent?" "
And there you have it....do not listen to what he says...watch what he does !
