More Healthcare Reactions...

Just getting a general feel for the reaction among my fellow bloggers to the recent passage of ØbamaCare... It seems there are several different schools of thought on the bill...

There's folks who, like me, are angry:

"Be Prepared", In Jennifer's Head (always excellent advice)

"Some Wishes", AEPilot Jim (don't sugar-coat things)

"The Country was just flushed down the shitter", The Angry Patriot (stop holding everything in...)


There's folks looking on the bright side:


"American Socialism", Fighting for Liberty (but with a silver lining)

"Walk Tall", pdb (listen closely while reading this post. You *will* hear "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" playing in your head)


Some folks are a little more introspective than I:

"The death of Mental Health Care", Borepatch (cautionary example of what we can expect under ØbamaCare)

"Dear America, I own your ass", SayUncle (damn straight Unc)

"Allow me to point something out to some of you", Squeaky (with some actual, you know, facts to back things up)


Some remind us that not all is what it seems:

"Healthcare, Zercool-style", ZerCool (very clever!)

And the Pantsless One is resigned:

"This isn't the end", Robb Allen (agreed, sadly)

UPDATE: Best. Recap. EVAH:

"Recent History", LabRat



I think the one thing upon which we can all agree is that this is, without a doubt, the biggest load of crap dumped on the American people in two generations. Not since LBJ's "Great Society" and the "War on Poverty" have we seen a bigger load of "big government please save us from ourselves" whiny crap.

I think we've all had enough; I think we're all mad as hell and ain't no one gonna take it any more. I think this has been a colossal error on Øbama's part - he thought he could twist arms and bribe the right people and get this passed and have his legacy. Problem is, his legacy is going to involve being the first one-term Democrat since his idol and mentor, Jimmy Carter. He's going to lead the Democrats in an ass-whooping that's going to make 1994 look like a picnic; and then he's going to find himself out on his duff in 2012. He's shown a complete and utter lack of "getting it" when it comes to deciphering what the American people want, and is going to suffer the political consequences.

Put simply, Barack Øbama is redefining "tone deaf"...

That is all.

Mark Steyn has the best international view of this debacle.

Out on his ass?! You mean with a pension for life, Top-O-The-Line Health care for himself and his family for life… Armed protection for himself and his family for life… Speaking engagements whenever he wants to pick-up a few dollars… What am I missing ? But “out on his ass” makes it sound like the bum’s rush – into the poor house. No. Nyet. Unh unh. Not likely. Oh and guess who pays for all that ? Yup. It ain’t Canada.
