What is the plan Mr. President? You condemn insurance companies and doctors, yet you want everyone to have free health care without profit? Just because members of our society are divided by the public education system into dropouts and graduates, you want equal outcomes for both. Equal outcomes for both dropouts and graduated have never worked in mankind's history.

Obama wishes to relieve the suffering of Americans, but he does not wish to challenge the profit-uber-alles old "bottom line" of the competitive marketplace. Unfortunately, he can't have it both ways. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.detnews.com/article/20090911/OPINION01/909110318/1008/Obama-s-health-speech-caters-to-incoherent-centrist-politics"><P>Obama knows that a single-payer program -- extending Medicare to everyone -- is far more rational than what he has proposed to Congress, but he also believes eliminating the insurance companies, hospital chains and other medical profiteers would require a battle beyond his capacities. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.detnews.com/article/20090911/OPINION01/909110318/1008/Obama-s-health-speech-caters-to-incoherent-centrist-politics"><P>And that is why centrist politics appears so incoherent and self-contradictory and unable to relieve the suffering moderates like Obama genuinely desire to heal. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.detnews.com/article/20090911/OPINION01/909110318/1008/Obama-s-health-speech-caters-to-incoherent-centrist-politics"><SPAN class="timeStamp">Friday, September 11, 2009</SPAN></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.detnews.com/article/20090911/OPINION01/909110318/1008/Obama-s-health-speech-caters-to-incoherent-centrist-politics"><H4>Rabbi Michael Lerner</H4></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/A1D2011A-55EC-42DB-BC00-9E7904E562AA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
