Thanks, guys, for the explanations and the links. And yes, Sarah had it right, and Betsy McCaughey before her (Betsy called out Obama on the 'end-of-life' counseling issue, on Fred Thompson's show -- I happened to be listening that night and caught it all -- in 2009), about the "death panels".

The liberals have lied, are lying, will lie. To be liberal is to live a lie, and be a lie, and eat, sleep, and breathe lies.

It's for the children, you see.

The basis for all this is clearly stated in Dr. Ezekiel Immanuel’s (yes, Rahm’s brother) article in the January 29, 2009 issue of Lancet. Copies or the article are a lot harder to get now than earlier. But, the essence of the message in the ~20+ page diatribe is included in the only graphic in the article: spend health care money on the “working, productive” part of the population.....the very young and the old and infirm...uuuhhhh, not so much, since they are not “useful” participants in the economy of this society. It will chill you to the bone and at the time this article was published, the great humanitarian, Dr. Immanuel, was Dear Leader’s primary medical advisor. Surprised?
