Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


ABC News Senior VP Kerry Smith defended the program, saying ABC "is looking for the most thoughtful and diverse voices on the issue." It is difficult to see how diverse voices will be heard in a show that features no thoughtful opposition to the Obama plan.

The media have found that Obama sells. With his high approval ratings it appears they are targeting Obama supporters who would tune into the news equivalent of religious programming on which atheists and people with different beliefs never appear.

In doing these programs from inside the White House, ABC has thrown its remaining credibility to the wind and becomes an appendage of their advertisers, the Obama worshippers and the Democratic Party.

Try to imagine this happening in a Republican administration. You can't, because it would never happen.

By the way, guess who's the new director of communications for the White House Office of Health Reform. It's former ABC News correspondent Linda Douglass, who left journalism last year to join the Obama campaign.

This should settle, once and for all, the matter of big media bias. Only those in complete denial could argue there will be anything "fair and balanced" about the ABC programs. And the public, on an Obama high right now, is going to be the big loser in the end when it awakens to the erosion of our hard-earned freedoms. But by then it will be too late.

Didn't think..
..that anyone could make Clinton look like a not-so-bad president.

Boy, was I ever wrong.

I Won
Well, as Obama said in his first parade ob "bipasrtinship" - the cocktail hour in the whitehouse - "I won." He invited congress to express their "opinions" or "advice" then smirked and showed them the door - I won.

And as the ridiculous guy who acts as his uu - uh - uh press uh - secretary said today when Bush defended his own actions "We won."

Of course Obama went to Notre Dame in spite of his full-term abortion approval and informed them that they (the Catholics and he) could reach an agreement - of course he meant the Catholic church could be convinced by his golden voice to agree with him. He sure wasn't going to change his mind.

As he says, "I won" and I can do as I please - it doesn't matter what the people think - they are a bunch of sheep and I can pull the wool over their eyes any day I choose.
