Haven't you noticed that Obama and his supporters seem to like stirring up a panic? Creating a sense of urgency where no cause really exists? What better way to ram through legislation than when everyone is convinced that SOMETHING just HAS to be done. Not now, but yesterday!
Today Obama is using scare tactics announcing that if this health care legislation is not passed now the insurance companies win! Oooooo!!! They will take over and raise premiums 40, 50, 60%!!! Booooga-boooga-booooga!!!! Bad, bad, evil insurance companies!! Last month it was bad, bad, evil Wall Street. Next month? Who knows?
Yes, some changes are needed. But it seems to me that this emergency mentality is not conducive to rational thinking and decision making. Never was, never will be.
