“I couldn't put my finger on what bothered me listening to President Obama's relatively smooth answers and reassuring comments about health care at his news conference Wednesday. He said all the right things, like promising to "keep government out of health care decisions."
"Don Boudreaux's letter helped me understand why I felt queasy: it simply is impossible that increasing government's role is a way to "keep government out of health care decisions.”
To the Editor:
If an armed man breaks into your house, confiscates money from your wallet, insists that he and his goons are blessed with a grand vision of how you and your family should be provided with health care, and commands you to do as he orders, would you believe his promise to keep armed intruders "out of health care decisions"? ("Text: Obama's Remarks on Health Care," July 22).
Of course not.
So why isn't the entire country furious at being insulted by Pres. Obama's patently absurd claim that his efforts to give government a greater role in paying for health care will "keep government out of health care decisions”?
Sincerely,
Donald J. Boudreaux

Actually, the fact that Obama is president is a constant insult to America. Anyone who could think half a thought would have known in advance that Obama was and will continue to be an Alinski radical, a power hog with no moral underpinnings except to hog power using any methods possible and painting them all as fierce moral urgencies. Obama is ever faithful to the Alinski method. So there is nothing that is ethically out of bounds, and there should be no one surprised by that.
