WOLF: Obamacare's Unkeepable Promises Utopian vision was a fraud from the beginning
The Washington Times ^ | October 21, 2010 | Dr. Milton R. Wolf

Posted on 10/22/2010 4:18:21 PM PDT by GailA

We are witnessing the unmistakable collapse of an American presidency. While this may not yet be irreversible, it certainly was predictable and preventable. Chief among its causes has been the unbridled hubris that prompted this president to force Obamacare, the government takeover of the finest health care system in the world, against the clear will of "we the people" while turning his back on the free-market principles that once made us the most prosperous nation on earth.

I thought for maybe a second Wolf Blitzer of Communist News Network was reporting this.

My bad... he is probably reporting on Michelle Obama’s great outfit while picking garden crap.

DemoCare not Obamacare

To accurately identify, and to give credit where credit is due, the term DemoCare, not Obamacare, should be promoted. While I personally prefer Donkey Care or Ass-Wipe Care, the average guy on the street may fail to identify democrats as donkeys or ass-wipes.

DemoCare would help associate each and every democrat with the recent health care legislation. In fact, the term was suggested by Gerald Sindell (a liberal) in the Huffington Post last March. Sindall states “The time has come to name whatever this thing is so the Democrats can frame and sell their handiwork to the country and lay claim to their achievement for all time” and “The Democrats need a name that expresses their ownership of a system of health care ….”.

Wow! Sometimes the “useful idiots”, (like Sindell) get it right!

The term Obamacare allows democrats to deflect blame for the ill effects of their new health-care system. Example: see article by Philip Bredesen (Democrat, governor of Tennessee) in the Wall Street Journal, Oct. 21, 2010.

Obamacare also generates the false impression that Obama is an effective leader. In reality, if we had a monkey in the oval office, and a democratic majority in both houses of Congress, DemoCare would have still happened.

(My apologizes to all monkeys.)

ZeroCare.

Not only perfectly descriptive, Obama must be blamed. The Democrats will always be with us, but we won’t always have to put up with his sorry lying crooked ass.

So true. We have called it Obamacare because that is what the MSM dubbed it. This one is totally Dimwit owned, lock, stock and barrel.

How the GOP got Snowe and Collins to toe the line I can not imagine. Both need replacing ASAP, they are no better than a Blue Dog Dimwit.

Me too, TN has early voting, so I voted 2nd day of it. Now I’m free to campaign for Charlotte.

We get our local rag..and it sure didn’t carry ANY thing but GOOD things about DEMOCRATCARE. Nor did the local news channels and we have 4 of those. 2 main, 2 secondary.
