Down Our Throats

Barack Hussein Obama may well have his wish fulfilled and be able to direct one-sixth of the US economy by co-opting control of America's health care. Obama and his White House flacks had consistently called for an up or down vote on the scheme, but now it seems they will be more than happy to merely deem the bill to have passed the US House of Representatives, using the chicanery of a parliamentary maneuver that has rarely been used and never used on an issue of such consequence. The socialists may well win the day to initiate their program, but while they may win the battle to impose their will on a resistant electorate, they have not won the war. The battle will be joined in November when the colossus of the angry American voter rises to throw the bums out.
