Obama to deliver health care The Chicago Way
John Kass
February 25, 2010
President Barack Obama will star in his very own televised entertainment spectacular on Thursday — let’s call it Federal Health Care Kabuki Theater.
The Republicans wanted to dance. Now they’ll have to step lightly. They were foolish to get trapped in his so-called summit on national health care. Or did they actually think they could outperform the skinny fellow from Chicago?
The president is taking this one last chance to push his health care agenda, which by his own estimate will cost about $1 trillion over 10 years. That’s money America doesn’t have, but he could probably just print some more.
Obama will be in his element, talking and lecturing, the law professor framing the debate. He’ll spend hours being seen as reasonable. The Republicans will balk and the president will shrug. He’ll sigh and say he tried to reason with them but they refused.
Then once the cameras are turned off, he’ll take out the baseball bat and explain how things get done The Chicago Way.

He may want to revisit his article...
The Chicago Tribune actually published that?
Was that written before this bogus morning session?
