    BO just walked out to promote his NEW AND IMPROVED, health care reform bill.

    He gets a bunch of people dressed up in hospital coats and scrubs.

    Like, do the props really help make his point and how much time does his staff waste on stupid crap like that?

    A few months ago his staff was busted for handing out doctor's coats during a news conference on health care.

    Sometime I suspect that his agenda is more "propish" with smoke and mirrors that it is of substance.

    Politics as theater.

    Interesting.

    ------------

    He's wasted a year trying to reform HC as if the world was going to end if it doesn't.

    Sheesh.

    The world could end for some if they have no healthcare.

    I guess being propish costs far less than what the real issue would cost if he serious enough to do something about it.
    Pollies are pollies mate, they are the same everywhere.

    The will end for all of us eventually.
    Matter of fact I don't plan on being here forever.

    At times, health care just makes matters worse, check it out.

    I love it when the lefty media tries to spin a turd.

    Sure, cuts taxes... Great idea.... But JUST LIKE BUSH DID, keep spending money that is not there.

    Ok.... Explain how. In as much detail as possible please. Source references would be nice... But not necessary.

    What Keynesian, pardon my spelling error, policies, enacted after WW2 'worked very well'?
