Here is video of Presidential Historian Douglas Brinkley talking with Mike Huckabee about the fact that President Obama is now comparing himself with Franklin Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy.
Brinkley believes Obama is running into problems because he is trying to pass a Health Care bill so soon after the huge Stimulus Spending Plan. The American people feel he is trying to do "too much too fast." . . . . (Watch Video)

Hmmm, comparing himself to JFK, not going to go there.....
“I knew John Kennedy. John Kennedy was a friend of mine.......”
Worst economy since FDR. He had no business sense either.
Pray for America and Our Troops
Roosevelt and Kennedy were Scrooges compared to Obama’s spending spree.
Didn’t Kennedy and Roosevelt both die in office? Hmmm.
BHO, your no JFK
Behind the myths about those two historical figures are two personality types that we don’t want to see in power ever again.
They both died in office.
I would rather he followed FDR’s way out ...
“Too much, too fast.”
Bullcrap. This makes it sound like he’s an overachiever.
It’s more like ramming things through before anyone finds out what really happened.
Right now I can’t think of anything except President Wee Wee.
Barack 0bama.
He must be trying to outdo the worst President of all time, FDR!!

That means that health care providers have no individual rights. The collective right of the people to receive health care would supersede the provider's individual right to set their fees, their hours or change their occupational status or even decide how to apply their skills and knowledge. A collective right, by practical definition, is a state right because it is a right that is provided by the government to all not protected by the government as something possessed by each person. It is also a state right because it supersedes the individual rights of others when the two come into conflict.
It isn't stated in any of the bills that a patient's rights to care supersedes a provider's right to set fees and hours etc, but it doesn't need to. Rights are always adjudicated in the courts. The legislation simply establishes the foundation for the courts to rule in favor of the patient's collective right to health care.
Weiner’s view is collectivist, fascist and totalitarian. Collectivist because it is superior to an individual right. Fascist because it is overseen by one entity the Federal government. Totalitarian because the Federal government is the true possessor of this collective right and the administrator and enforcer of it as well.
Congressman Weiner's view is the underlying philosophy of the entire Health Care Reform legislation the House and Senate have put forth. Consider the setting up of community watch dogs to monitor various health parameters of citizens in the Senate version of the bill. Look at pages 382 - 393.
TITLE I—QUALITY, AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE FOR ALL AMERICANS
Even the citizens themselves will be subject to state set regulations on their behavior in order to fulfill the human right of universal health care. It isn't the individual's liberty that is being protected by that it is the state's control over its health care system that is being guarded. How much clearer can it be that these bills abrogate the concept of individual rights?

Second Bill of Rights aka FDR's economic bill of rights (An early attempt to embed collective rights into American politics and society.)
I doubt that FDR or JFK ever used terms like, “wee weed”.
Long time smoker—there’s hope yet!
He’s comparing himself to a cripple and a drug addict?
wee- wee
lets get wee weeded up!
You say drug addict? Look up Larry Sinclair press conference pt 1 on Youtube.
