Round-Up of Health Care Obama-nations

Did anyone catch Obama on FIVE morning shows trying to sell his health care agenda? Nobody's buying what he's selling!

Here's a fun round-up of recent articles about his Obam-inable actions:

- first he argued with George Stephanopoulus when Steph. asked him about whether requiring people to get health insurance or be fined was a tax increase. Steph pointed out the definition of tax in the dictionary; Obama mocked him for that. Obama pointed out that everyone was required to get auto insurance and that wasn't a tax increase. (Stupid argument, only drivers are required to get insurance and only to protect others, under Obama's plan everyone will have to get insurance simply for existing). Click here.

- When confronted with ACORN's recent scandals and then the senate's vote to deny giving ACORN federal money, Obama played the idiot. He wasn't even aware ACORN was getting a lot of federal money! And he definitely did not commit to signing any bill cutting off federal ACORN money. Click here.

- Then comes the news that Obama is "open" to a a bill that would bailout newspapers. I'm sure that's completely unrelated to the story that the New York Times has given him TWO miles of coverage on the front page of its paper this year alone, virtually all of it favorable.

- Finally, this article amusingly points out that Obama wants his daughters left alone by the media when HE says so, but then uses a story of daughter Sasha's diagnosis of meningitis when she was a baby to sell his health care plan. Do you want them in the spotlight or not? And by the way, Obama and Michelle can't even agree on whether she had meningitis or not!
