They stole Dick Cheney's playbook!
Plenty of money for illegitimate wars, plenty of money that the corporations and the filthy rich don't have to pay their fair share, and yet we will go bankrupt if HCR isnt passed.

OBAMA is playing the fear card.

The administration has committed a cardinal sin of politics: They have attacked the responsible segment of the Democratic base with transparent spin. They have destroyed their credibility and are now resorting to fear-mongering as the only way they can counter critics who have them on the facts and are as smart as these arrogant failures falsely believe themselves to be.

In the meantime they have become fascist: A government that has partnered with a corrupt health insurance industry to require people by law to give their money to those private businesses, much of which will not go to actually delivering health care.

The reason is that the economy is collapsing and this is just more corporate welfare with us just as pawns.
