I continue to be astonished by the arrogance and deception of President Obama and the liberal leadership. The "health care" bill (and I used the description only to make a point, because that is not really what it is), would have failed in the Senate except for a few legislators who allowed themselves to be bribed--bought.
The House bill could not pass so Speaker Pelosi fell back on tricks, sleight-of-hand, and parliamentary chicanery to "deem" the Senate bill passed, and used a reconciliation tactic that has never been used for such an enormous government program. At the heart of this under-handed dealing is, as George F. Will puts it, a liberal desperation.
"Liberals are deeply disappointed with the public, which fails to fathom the excellence of their agenda. But their real complaint is with the government's structure. Liberals have met their enemy, and he is the diminutive 'father of the Constitution,' James Madison."
President Obama would very much like to change the Constitution, giving government far more power and control.
As Thomas Sowell stated:
Fraud has been at the heart of this medical care takeover plan from day one. The succession of wholly arbitrary deadlines for rushing this massive legislation through, before anyone has time to read it all, serves no other purpose than to keep its specifics from being scrutinized--or even recognized--before it becomes a fait accompli and the "law of the land."
