Very funny: The day after POTUS cited the Postal Service approvingly as a model of the sort of public/private competition that ought to exist for health care, my local NPR station held a discussion around whether it should be scrapped.

Obamacide?

Let’s see if I get the Obamacide healthcare bill rationale correct: Insurance companies are rationing healthcare. Rationing healthcare leads to people unnecessarily ill or dead. That’s evil. The oversight board set up by the healthcare legislation will have the final say on appropriate coverage for patients. That means rationing (or “triage”, if you prefer). Now the government can take over from the greedy insurance companies that are causing patients to go without healthcare. In the current budgetary crisis we must have a major cutbacks on healthcare costs. Why? Because we are spending trillions to bailout too big to fail banks (e.g. Goldman Sachs)and insurance companies’ (viz. AIG)gambling debts (AKA derivative securities.) Therefore I believe now our liberal government under Obama wants to be brought into the business of doing evil liberally in its own right. Bravo!

What has the government touched that’s worked well? I can’t remember anything. If National Health is going to be so good, let members of Congress give up their health care to join it. Let Congress also be required to invest in Social Security – maybe then they’d find a way to make it work & quit giving SS benefits away! I’m tired of subsidizing everyone who never wanted to work & putting my kids & grandkids financial future at risk!

I guess this is the example of, “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with BS”

I debated for 4 years and heard some rather convoluted, hard to follow “logic”, but, uh … wow

I for one am encouraged by him using the analogy of the Post Office.

He has clearly lost his mind.

Yay for our side!

Obama’s analogy is like Germans saying Hitler wasn’t all bad because he got the trains to run on time.

“These are lies! Government care won’t crowd out private insurance, look at the US Postal Service! It can’t compete with Private Companies like Fedex or UPS”

He said what???????

Still seems like a case of life imitating art when a bozo like Barry is our nation’s CEO. I’d never have thought the circumstances that led to his election would have been likely or realistic, unless he was a fictional character portrayed in a ridiculous TV show or goofus-doofus movie.

It’s nice to see that Obama finally picked up DCSCA’s favorite analogy (which DCSCA must have lifted from some lefty blog). DCSCA would never actually explain it or defend it after dropping it in a thread so I didn’t have the pleasure of demolishing an actual argument from him. Now Obama’s analogy is being widely ridiculed and exposed for it’s stupidity across the blogosphere.

You lose again DCSCA.
