Obama's Straw-man Is Getting Worn Out

Written by , Posted in Health Care, Welfare & Entitlements

It must be difficult constructing an argument to support the unsupportable.  President Obama is reduced to trotting out the same old, tired, worn out straw-man to make the case for socialized health care.  Anytime someone objects to Obama’s radical agenda on the grounds that it is destructive and counter-productive, Obama accuses them of defending the status quo.

This intellectually dishonest tactic has gotten old, and fast.  Mr. Obama, a man of supposedly high intellect, should not be engaging in such childish tactics.  He knows damn well there are more choices on the table than the status quo or his proposal.  Accepting the current health environment is not the only alternative to opposing Obama’s bad ideas.
