What's the Big Hurry? (reprise)

"This is what the debate in Congress is all about: whether we'll keep talking and tinkering and letting this problem fester as more families and businesses go under and more Americans lose their coverage; Or whether we'll seize this opportunity -- one we might not have again for generations -- and finally pass health insurance reform this year, in 2009." -- Barry H. Obama in his weekly radio and internet speech

"Damn the torpedoes, Full speed ahead!" -- Admiral David Glasgow Farragut


I've noticed that Barry's always in a big hurry. It seems like every idea he comes up with is tagged with this high urgency. 2009 or bust. Hurry up and pass it.

In What's the Big Hurry , I pointed out that he exhorted people to vote before election day. It was clear that time would not work in his advantage, as more and more regular people (like Joe the Plumber) uncovered his true intentions.

So, he gets elected, and he needs to rush through a big spending package, take over the banks and car companies, slam the credit card issuers, cap the student loan paybacks, add a massive new energy tax and now take over 1/6th of our economy with Obamacare.

On this latter point, a CBO Report surfaced that shows how this plan will not work. Maybe it's time we read one of these bills.

Never mind the facts. Full speed ahead!
