Out Damn Spot [of Truth]! Out, I say.

I subscribe to the liberal website Truthout even though Truthout in its supreme ideological complacency does not publish my extremely polite comments, and I noticed a parallel today, thanks to commentary in Investor's Business Daily (http://www.investors.com/NewsAndAnalysis/Article.aspx?id=508150), with the way President Macbeth Obama handles truth: "Out damn spot...What needs we fear who knows it, when none can [or will] call our power to account?"

Like Tin Soldiers...all in a row!

From today's New York Post: "A sea of 150 white-coated doctors, all enthusiastically supportive of the president and representing all 50 states, looked as if they were at a costume party as they posed in the Rose Garden before hearing Obama's pitch for the Democratic overhaul bills moving through Congress.

The physicians, all invited guests, were told to bring their white lab coats to make sure that TV cameras captured the image. But some docs apparently forgot, failing to meet the White House dress code by showing up in business suits or dresses.So the White House rustled up white coats for them and handed them to the suited physicians who had taken seats in the sun-splashed lawn area.

All this to provide a visual counter to complaints from other doctors that pending legislation is bad news for the medical profession."

Of course, pictures and propaganda trump cold hard facts for this administration. On September 15, Investor's Business Daily reported its IBD/TIPP poll of 1,376 physicians found the following:

1. 65% opposed Obama's proposed expansion of government into medicine.

2. 45% said they would consider quitting medical practice if the plan is implemented.

3. 71% said they did not believe the government could provide health insurance for 47 million additional people at lower cost while not affecting the quality of care.

So that's it, folks. It's as simple as 1,2,3...government health care is a loser. Doctors know it. Seniors know it....and the administration knows it. That's why it stoops to video games to make a hard sell to the ignorant.
