• Death Panels. Yeah, I said it....

  —RIGHTWINGSPARKLE

  —Ace of Spades HQ

  He's said this before, but I suppose it's a particularly inconvenient moment now for him to be saying it again. He attacks the bill, as before, from the left, claiming it's a right-wing gift to the insurance companies. "You will..." [...]

  Well. Don’t this beat all. Just a few days after accusing Republicans of “scaring the American people”, Obama is now attempting  to scare the American people about the health care bill.
