If Barrack Obama looks like the "healthiest president we've ever had"...doesn't that say something about how far our medical care on the whole has come over the years? Sounds like an argument against universal care to me is hiding in that statement somewhere... I'm just saying! Just one more thing…(sorry).

Because the plan(s,s,s,s) are impossible to decipher...every one of them. I'm beginning to think the legislature cannot (is not capable of) creating a decipherable plan...and I think this is Obama's fault. He needed to tell them months ago to make a plan the opposition and supporters both can understand--not necessarily agree with, just comprehend--because the less either side understand of it, the less support there will be. K.I.S.S. should be the catchphrase, and that may seem impossible to do with such a leviathan issue such as this...but that is what it needs: simplicity. By keeping everything so convoluted and labyritine, he only frustrated everyone and breeds tension. Quite simply: if there is nothing to hide, why does every bill look like a word maze on HGH? “we root for him more than for his plan” Agreed.

Mr. Morone makes the complex understandable with passion and simplicity. Not many on the liberal side can pull this off. This may explain why the Right can gain enormous political mileage espousing simple fears with with phrases like "socialized medicine" and "death panels". What a great show !!
