TCM changes his tune

I’m not the first to point this out, nor is Neo-neocon, but it’s important to point out once again.

    Yeah, but two outta three ain’t bad. God took Teddy and brought us Scotty, so He’ll rescue man, woman, birth, death and infinity will go on for at least the gratefully and gracefully insured in this country. Go God!!!!

    But General Hospital melodrama the book is not. What I found instead was an illuminating portrayal of our broken health care system, without the gross oversimplification that presidential political campaigns are apt to use in endless sound bytes.

    Salamon’s prose is at its best when she documents the experience of Maimonides cancer patients–real people in pain, often lacking insurance and citizenship, praying for miracles and avoiding the awful truth as best they can. Salamon thankfully avoids turning these tragic stories into overwrought narrative thread. Her voice is simple and frank, and therefore irresistible. A powerful work.

    It’s also important to point out this:

    What (Obama’s) saying in these clips is that he expected it would be more difficult to govern (such as passing health care reform legislation) without broad support. Whether health care reform has such broad support may depend on how you interpret various polls and how you expect Congress to vote on upcoming bills. But what Obama is not saying in those clips is that he promises not to pass health care reform without a supermajority.

    Of course, this hasn’t prevented right-wingers from claiming that he made such a promise. Blogger Jim Hoft posted the video at his Gateway Pundit site and wrote: “But, of course, like everything else Obama promised, this statement came with an expiration date. Today Obama will announce that democrats will force their unpopular nationalized health care bill through Congress using a simple majority to ram it through.”
