In the end, health care reform isn’t about politics and fear. It’s about changing a system that often works better for the health-insurance companies than it does for millions of Americans. Full Story »

Obama is consistent in that he will always portray his opposition of the very sins he commits. The President consistently misinforms while accusing his critics of misinformation. David Brooks of the Times refers to the Presidents health reform claims as 'telling whoppers' all the while Obama accuses his critics of gross mistruths. This is a propaganda piece and not quality journalism
I could ‘unspin’ or put a different spin on virtually every statement the President makes. Most of his article is political spin, which of course counters his absurd claim that this is not about politics. The more blatant ‘whoppers’ would include his claim of savings with preventative care. Preventative medicine will not save money, it will cost more. Additionally his claim that you can keep your insurance if you like it, is only true if your insurance company is still around after his reforms. It is not a sin (in and of itself) for insurance companies to make a profit as the President insinuates. They will not remain viable if they are prevented from making a profit. The President’s claims that refer to who is supporting his plan (what ever that is) are disingenuous.
