Remember the health care issue? Well, the fiscal consequences of the socialized medicine scheme enacted by President Barack Obama and Congress just two months ago are already beginning to snowball.
Democratic Rep. Henry Waxman of California, the chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, was one of the key architects and advocates of Obamacare. He was back on the House floor on Friday delivering an urgent plea to fellow Democrats that inadvertently -- or, perhaps, unavoidably -- revealed the fraudulent nature of our new national health care regime.

Yeah, well....the real problem is....we have no real men or Republican leadership (other than Sarah Palin). To my knowledge, I’m not aware of one Rep that is talking about this blatant failure on the part of Democrats. Why? Are they still trying to find their ____, ____, or ____? (fill in the blanks)
It looks like the Democrats will be able to do as they please.....continue to foul America and our economy, continue to screw the taxpayers, continue to fail miserably, continue to commit more crimes, continue to lie with no accountability and continue to blame Bush and Republicans for every failure under the sun.

obama could be a true blessing IF Americans and the rest of the world see and understand that the progressive's ideas, policies and goals are a guaranteed socio-economic disaster.
obama is bad news, but the progressive ideology is the kiss of death for any government that tries to implement it.
