The most revealing thing about the issue with Gates is that he is so clearly another person and instance of a pattern that Obama's other "close friends".

Racist, hate filled, angry, people who detest traditional America and the free market and whose seething hatred is only just below the surface...and in some cases always out in the open. Frank Davis, Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Jeremiah Wright, Henry Louis Gates...and the list goes on and on.

There is a clear pattern here that the MSM not only knows, but refuses to report. And that is because most of them share this hatered.

Obama and all those pushing his radical agenda are abject marxist ideologues. Their "fundamental; change" is nothing more than a destruction of the American free market and fundamental republican principle.

It's been tried, Mr. President. Look north to Canada. Look east to Europe. Your new ideas debuted about 1945. Their cancer survival rates (the best metric of health care quality) are significantly below ours. Their facilities are less modern. Their contribution to new medical technology and drugs lags. Their wait times for surgeries and other treatments are significant.

He doesn't care - this is a power grab pure and simple. However, this message, the failure of such systems in Canada, in the UK, and in greater Europe, needs to be read to the American people over and over again.

Hey, if Canadian national health care is so great, how come so many Canadians come to the U.S. for care?

"Right now, doctors, a lot of times, are forced to make decisions based on the fee payment schedule that's out there. So if they're looking and -- and you come in and you've got a bad sore throat, or your child has a bad sore throat, or has repeated sore throats, the doctor may look at the reimbursement system and say to himself, 'You know what? I make a lot more money if I take this kid's tonsils out.'"

I rarely listened to him. I guess that will have to change. I can't say what I really think.

Peter Baker and Robert Pear did say, "In fact, $1.5 trillion of those 'savings' are mainly based on an assumption that the United States would have had as many troops in Iraq in 10 years as it did when Mr. Obama took office. ... Before leaving office, President George W. Bush ... mandat(ed) the withdrawal of all American forces within three years. So Mr. Obama is claiming credit for not spending money that ... would never have been spent in the first place." Congratulations to the New York Times.

Thanks neverdem.

This is a point VERY worth remembering. I need to study up a bit on it though... I have not seen any analysis containing this in detail.
