sorry, I didn't realize which side of the fence you are on.
Obama and his puppet master Emmanuel know their audience, and speak to them with rhetoric rather than substance because they understand that will work best. eg...single payer health care is the best option for 'everyone as a group' but Obama knows that there would be too big of an outcry of socialism if he didn't take the intermediary step of bankcrupting the insurance companies first so that the govt could step in and 'save' everyone. personally I think single payer is the best option but it is true that you pay for it with rationing and waitlists, and perhaps less innovation.
as far as the psychologist bringing up the old soviet union...anyone who can't see the similarities between them then, and us now, just doesn't realize how deeply steeped in political correctness we are. it didn't work in Russia but I'm sure we can make it work here, dontcha think?
