Call for Josef Goebbels on the White Courtesy Phone

Did you notice that the main-stream media is in the Bamster's pocket? Ease up, that was a bit of sarcasm. If you're still above ground and not deteriorating rapidly to room temperature, you're aware that Chris Matthews tingle down his leg has puddled on the floor of MSNBC's studio and Wolf Blitzer's undying adulation has permeated CNN. So this shouldn't be a real surprise:

Yes, now coming to you live from the White House!

We know that getting Americans to buy in to giving up their family doctor, their treatment options and their hope for cures when something ails them will be tough. I'm not eager to adopt the third world clinic model and witch doctor incantations for my illnesses. I will fight to my last breath.

That's why it is so important to sell the program. We now have a major network, moving lock, stock and rusty barrel into the White House to do the bidding of the Messiah on this critical issue.

And, no there is not a reason we should have any sort of opposition to the nationalization able to voice their objections. Why would we want Americans to have a choice on this critical matter? They would probably simply demand quality over appeal to the great unwashed masses. Pandering doesn't necessarily trump prescriptions for most of us, but why should we be given any arguments against the program?

Why is this major shift in our healthcare system so critical that it simply must be rammed through this summer without debate or examination? Did ABC accept TARP money and give up journalistic balance in return?

It reminds me of the car dealer's incessant question, "what would it take to have you take this little beauty home with you today?" It might take an examination of that pool of oil under the transmission...

My Previous employer a Major Health Care provider on the East and West Coasts are in Obama's pocket. Prior to laying off it's entire IT staff the CEO took up semi-permanent residence inside the beltway where the Company started building a Special multi-billion dollar facility to provide Congress and the Senior Government officials and of course selected well connected persons what was termed "Beyond cutting edge" medical technology. This level of care will of course, not be extended to mere peons or citizens. We are facing rationing and withholding treatment for any who are deemed too expensive to treat.

Why is this business with ABC going by with almost no notice Ed? This is huge. A mainstream media outlet is basically openly admitting to being part of the BHO apparatus and only the blogs and occasionally Fox are even commenting on it. It's so frustrating.

Can you honestly remember a time when ABC, NBC, or CBS was balanced, unless you're a Democrat of course... Old farts like us will be on Government Healthcare in a year or two anyway, if not already. I feel sorry for the kids. Glad I don't have any. Hell, Ed you've been on Government Healthcare for a while...now that I think of it...
