Our Betters.

So Donald Berwick, a man Obama appointed without even scheduling a hearing in congress, is so gung ho on rationing and responsible use of
healthcare, you'd think his own healthcare plan would be quite modest...

That is if you were a naive rube.

In reality:
In a special benefit conferred on him by the board of directors of the Institute for Health Care Improvement, a nonprofit health care charitable organization he created and which he served as chief executive officer, Berwick and his wife will have health coverage "from retirement until death."


Nice work if you can get it. Will Collier quips: "As always, when the government makes the rules, they apply to everybody... except members of the government. For the peons, rationing and scarcity, but the apparatchiks always keep their dachas--and their fully-funded medical care."



Like this link of Prof Reynolds': “Veterans who apply for jobs on Capitol Hill aren’t receiving critical federal job-placement benefits because Congress has largely exempted itself from a law that aids post-military employment for vets, a new congressional report shows.”



Classy.

Oh and if you dare mock Dear Leader, well you're a racist. Because there's no other possible reason for someone to be sour on Obama.

Not performance, partisanship, economic fears, lack of trust, disillusionment. If you don't like the One, then there's something wrong with you. Hence Bill Press's novel idea of blaming Obama's
slumping poll numbers on voters. But don't worry, there's a solution to bad voters that don't know what's good for you.

And don't you dare say the Obama admin is race-obsessed.



Michael Graham nails the difference.

Louis Farrakhan and Jeremiah Wright — both openly racist conspiracy theorists — have been featured speakers at NAACP events. So has Al Sharpton, even after the Tawana Brawley spectacle and the loss of life at Freddie’s Fashion Mart.

Does this make the NAACP an organization of racist, anti-Semitic loons? Or is it the case that any large organization dealing with issues people feel passionate about is going to attract extremists and nuts?

The difference is, when you’re looking for loonies at a tea-party rally, they’re on the fringe. When you’re looking for them at liberal events, they’re on stage.


Reality versus Liberal Fantasy Steven Green notes:

And yet… the Democrats control the White House and both sides of the Capitol Building, and by whopping margins. If they want laws, they can pass them. If they need money, they can borrow it. So what’s wrong? To put it bluntly, liberal policies have crashed head-first into reality.

You know, the reality that we can’t borrow our way out of a debt crisis, that we can’t spend our way out of deficits, that we can’t tax our way to full employment.

Oh, and the most hurtful reality of all — that when liberals implement their policies, Americans don’t like them. Not the policies, and not the liberals, either. Not one bit.


Mean old reality. Ungrateful voters. If only there was some way around them...

Yet somehow, they’re shocked — shocked! — that after being elected to restore some fiscal sanity, the American people weren’t much pleased when the Democrats instead stripped down and opened endless cases of baby oil for the biggest spending orgy in human history. (Maybe somewhere there’s an alien race that’s done worse, but I suspect


And they can't understand why the Tea Parties are so angry at all this spending. Afterall the GOP spend like wild. It's not like you can expect a person to be more angry at a deatbeat friend "borrowing" 50 thousand dollars as opposed to taking 5 thousand dollars.
