Obama in Rude Denial

The American Spectator reports that the Obama-Fuhrer's Death Care Rationing bill is already having the expected negative effects that were pointed out by critics. Several major companies have indicated that the bill will cost them millions or billions of dollars that will affect the bottom line and cost jobs and will diminish the health care coverage that they are providing to their employees both current and retired.

"Most of these people [in the Administration] have never had a real job in their lives. They don't understand a thing about business, and that includes the President," says a senior lobbyist for one of the companies that announced the charge. "My CEO sat with the President over lunch with two other CEOs, and each of them tried to explain to the President what this bill would do to our companies and the economy in general. First the President didn't understand what they were talking about. Then he basically told my boss he was lying. Frankly my boss was embarrassed for him; he clearly had not been briefed and didn't know what was in the bill."

It isn't just the President who didn't understand his own proposal.  Late Friday, House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman and Rep. Bart Stupak, chairman of the Oversight and Investigations panel, announced that they would hold hearings in late April to investigate "claims by Caterpillar, Verizon, and Deere that provisions in the new health care reform law could adversely affect their company's ability to provide health insurance to their employees."

This is, of course, the problem. We have in this administration a cadre of hard left socialists who hate the country and want to destroy it. Needless to say, none of them really understands how it works or why. Nor do the seem inclined to learn the first thing about the principles and ideas on which it was founded. They have no idea what they are doing except insofar as they "know" that they have to "fundamentally transform" the country that the rest of us cherish.
