As is his normal, Thomas Sowell has distilled the essence of the issue with just a few words and analysis that is crystal clear and dead on target.

I wish this man was my President!!!

Wow, you can say that again! He effortlessly zeros right into the very heart of darkness of Obama's strategy & NAILS it with just a few words arrayed in a way that any American can instantly understand. I'm clipping & bookmarking this excerpt for handy future reference on my ping page:

One plain fact should outweigh all the words of Barack Obama and all the impressive trappings of the setting in which he says them: He tried to rush Congress into passing a massive government takeover of the nation's medical care before the August recess-- for a program that would not take effect until 2013!

Whatever President Obama is, he is not stupid. If the urgency to pass the medical care legislation was to deal with a problem immediately, then why postpone the date when the legislation goes into effect for years-- more specifically, until the year after the next Presidential election?

If this is such an urgently needed program, why wait for years to put it into effect? And if the public is going to benefit from this, why not let them experience those benefits before the next Presidential election?

If it is not urgent that the legislation goes into effect immediately, then why don't we have time to go through the normal process of holding Congressional hearings on the pros and cons, accompanied by public discussions of its innumerable provisions? What sense does it make to "hurry up and wait" on something that is literally a matter of life and death?

If we do not believe that the President is stupid, then what do we believe? The only reasonable alternative seems to be that he wanted to get this massive government takeover of medical care passed into law before the public understood what was in it.

BTT!!!!!!!

...To be the POTUS has been for a long time beneath the dignity of most citizens. Considered the presidency as a leader, one person to unite us. Congress to be our representatives, not our leaders. SC to judicate the Rule of Law that has passed. No more in my life have I seen the SH!THOLE that we are being buried in by these turds that run to ruin this nation...

...Mr. Sowell is where he needs to be, a voice that needs to be heard, Bravo...
