Team Obama’s move to pass health care in the face of massive public opposition has taken on the appearance of mass hysteria. Otherwise sensible Democrats seem to share the delusion that the American public really wants something when the polls, and their own experiences, in fact tell them they don’t. The urgency and fixation they have demonstrated on this single issue borders on obsession and people have a right to question the excited and unstable mental state of America’s largest political party. Equally worrisome and another indicator of possible psychosis are the other unpopular plans the Democrats have waiting in the wings. Cap and Trade and Amnesty for Illegals are the last things the voters want congress to consider even in the good times but to bring it up in the second year of a devastating economic downturn is a clear demonstration of bizarre behavior.
Meanwhile, the Republicans, who have been cast into the minority for behavior that pales in comparison, are accused by the Democrats and most of the media of being the “party of no.” Yet, why should the GOP be expected to join in the insanity that is presently gripping Washington? They aren’t nuts.

The president of one local hospital has signed on. Down at the White House sniffing around Herr Presidenta’s heels this week endorsing the upcoming legislation.
To help the residents of the area or further the somewhat self aggrandizing agenda of the institution?
Well I don’t think it has to do with the public. Taj Mahal in zip 18103 is out to be a predominate force in the Lehigh Valley and The Nation.
Can you imagine the one agency that has local over-site of LVHN (to a degree), the city health department, is chaired by the head of community health (sic) of the hospital.
Could this be problematic? You decide.
