#1 I can just hear the Obama dialogue with Axlerod or Emmanuel: "Hey, it's time to have a White House press conference. We need to deal with this story or we will lose some of our support for health care. Orrin Hatch said we are all crazy on Fox. We can't let that stand. Got to fall back on the community organizer/Saul Alinsky model for dealing with this crap. Where are those white coated doctors and nurses we paraded in here last time for a news conference? Get em in here. Get some of those SEIU union guys that look like main stream voters in here too. Make sure they don't look like union thugs. Do it. Get Kucinich in here for support. I went through a lot of trouble to bend his arm. He got a ride on Air Force One. He owes us. Where's that woman with the cancer and the little kid who lost his mother? Get them too..." And the story goes on.

#2 There will be plenty of Pakistani doctors to take over. When even that gets too expensive, there are Somalis next in line.

As of late, this graph looks to be the optimistic forecast.

#6 He is a first class loonbat. In the end he puts party above all else like the rest of these left-wing idealogues. Caved in to Chicago gangsters. Sold out for special attention and the perks of a ride on Air Force One. Hope Ohio sees the light and dumps him in November.

#7 The horror stories coming from the NHS in the UK are growing daily. Canada has long wait times. Germany is billions in the red and considering going back to private.

Irony.
