Mickster on ObamaCare

There have been some very good anti-socialist-health-care pieces lately in the WSJ, IBD, and even the Washington Post. But whatever happens, do not allow yourself to miss Mickey Kaus: Obama as Health Care Salesman: He Sucks!

Kaus critiques -- roughly and amusingly -- President Obama's interview with NBC's Dr. Nancy Snyderman:

Who knew we were electing a national mother-in-law? And get a chance to endure increased taxes for the privilege. Obama's supposed to be rallying support from voters, not castigating them. Outside the S& M parlor, most people do not enjoy paying to be disciplined.

The likelier possibility is that he is saying what he wants to say. He's been surrounded by Orszaggy wonks for so long he thinks talking about "trend lines" and "incentivizing" is red meat. Which brings us to a final point: 4) He doesn't seem to know that much.

Devastating. Fascinating, Enthralling.
