Despite there being so many people on Obama's team that seem to be more fond of China than the United States, I was not surprised that President Obama chose to ignore the wise counsel of Confucius. Once again, Obama and the impatience of the left will, hopefully, prove their undoing. President Obama's summation at the Health Care Summit made it clear that leftists have been waiting over fifty years to jump on the European health care monstrosity, or perhaps more aptly termed, a "Logan's Run" style of health care, and government control of health care was an 'all or nothing' proposition in his eyes. Admittedly, President Obama provided patronizing and insulting lip service to Republican comments, invariably saying, "that's a legitimate point of discussion", but always I heard the unspoken coming from his tone: 'screw you, I was elected King . . . er-ah . . . president'. Please do not conclude I am complaining, for I believe if the committed left adhered to the proverb that 'even a journey of a thousand miles, begins with a single step', and did not always assume a posture of an arrogant bully every time political winds grant them the power, we would probably be already speaking an ebonic-like bastardized melding of German, Russian, and Chinese.
I have little doubt that Obama sees himself as the consummate benevolent monarch attempting to do what is best for his illiterate subjects, but his personality and style of governing are more in line with Jack, from the "Lord of the Flies". I do see, however, one good thing coming from this attempt at an Obamacare infomercial, though congressional members largely held their venom in check, President Obama put his inflexibility and entrenched ideology on full display and, while I believe public opinions might have been intensified, I suspect, none were changed.
