I was just watching Linda Douglass, Obama poodle, on FOX NEWS. She refused to answer whether BHO was going to promote TORT REFORM in his dog 'n pony show tonight...she merely said "Obama has talked about it a lot."

I ex[ect a dog and pony show tonight from Obummer, just more smoke and mirrors albeit in a much louder voice. I imagine Obummer will come across much like a scold tonight. He will rake Congress over the coals and take them to task even though he will discount his own share of the blame in the fiasco that has become healthcare. In fact, he will blame everybody and everything else BUT HIMSELF.

By KIMBERLEY A. STRASSEL
On Wednesday the president told Congress “I will not stand by while the special interests use the same old tactics to keep things exactly the way they are.” In fact, the administration is standing by to allow its most special, special interest to drive this debate. What the tort bar wants, the tort bar gets. Health insurers should be so lucky.
The legal question has become the starkest symbol of a broken health discussion, and offers insight into this presidency. For Republicans, legal reform has become a litmus test, proof that Democrats have no interest in a deal, and therefore a reason to step back. For many Americans, legal reform has become proof that President Obama is mo....

in all honesty— even the Republicans have a very bad plan for tort reform....
If tort reform were not politically motivated— it could be done right, and well....but both sides are WHACKED on the issue...
