I agree with some points - Obama's scaremongering is damaging to debate; but there has definitely been non-productive posturing on both sides.<br /><br />I understand you don't like gratuitous insults from Obama, such as taking the need for revamping health as a forgone conclusion. However, I will quibble with you when you say that Bush did not offer similar. I've frequently watched him and thought: "did he really just say that, with his bare face hanging out?".<br /><br />I favor a single-payer system, or a clean-up of the existing system; this Frankenstein nightmare that seems to be coming out is doomed.<br /><br />Nonetheless, Obama scares me, and I'm also scared of what will come next.<br /><br />Our information stream is so polluted now I don't know what to think. Flipping rapidly between the Huffington Post and Glenn Beck doesn't really help.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16623150778424572417noreply@blogger.com
