Saw a bit of today's White House Health Summit on the PBS News Hour. I wish I had CSPAN so I could have spent the whole day watching. Not really, it was enough to hear John McCain whining about who said what during the 2008 election. Also annoying to hear John Boehner go off into the deep end, into his usual bullshit talking points. Was pleased, though, that Obama was in fine form, and didn't miss a beat. I think the Dems are starting to get it at last; if they don't obtain a political brain, if they don't serve their constituency, they stand to lose the loyalty of their base. You know, people like me. Hell, I'm not reflexively loyal to the Donkeys, but I sure voted for Obie, and today I finally know why. He's good when he's at his best. As he was today, when he took on the Elephants with one brain tied behind his back.
But getting back on track, let's take note of a well known fact. When pollsters ask the right questions, they elicit interesting answers. Such as the fact that a majority in the United States actually favors a government-run health-care system, more or less along the lines of Medicare.
