Reid’s ‘take on the world’ bluster pits Main Street against government in healthcare war

[Photo Credit: James Gathany, Centers for Disease Control ]Democrats are giddy these days, at least they are if they’re the Pelosi/Reid/Emanuel brand—lover of big government, spend and taxer, paramour of the Nanny State whose first marriage came long ago to another like-minded Dem, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. For these Dems, times are good. The New Deal and the concept of “recovery” constitute the approach and platform for the Party holding absolute power in Washington. So it seemed apropos when wire services reported Sen. Harry Reid issued a war cry after President Barack Obama had lunch with most members of the Senate Dem caucus. And trying to look as warrior-like as possible I’m sure, Reid said, “We’re ready to take on the world.”
By that statement I assume most Democratic Party speechwriters are crafting heartfelt apologies at an increased pace, assuring the world the US is to blame for every mishap around the globe. And I assume Reid also intended to go full speed ahead with what he and his ideological kin are calling “healthcare reform,” gathering the troops to go forth in the waning days of summer and sell Americans the most ineptly crafted bill I have seen, even surpassing the Energy bill the Dems rushed together with the speed of an ACORN employee soliciting voter registrations.
The Washington Post ran a header, ‘Health Insurance Lobby Strikes Back at Industry’s Critics.’ The article reported on remarks in a news release by Karen Ignagni, president of America's Health Insurance Plans.
