President Obama's Acute Case of Tonsillitis

Last night, perhaps in an attempt to give both parents and children nightmares, President Obama accused doctors who remove children's tonsils of performing the surgery for profit and not for the benefit of the patient. Unbelievably, this was the argument he used to explain that it is best that the federal government decide what treatments you get. Perhaps our President can be forgiven for making this ridiculous claim given his frustration that his sweeping health care plan has been faltering over the last few weeks.

His plan's near-collapse has been due, in large measure, to opposition from his own Party. Democratic leaders who worked hard to expand their majority by knocking off moderate Republicans with pro-life Democrats are now having difficulty trying to reconcile the divisions in their Party over the issue of taxpayer funding of abortion and line up behind the President. The President insists "this is not about him" (despite referring to himself over 60 times last night in his press conference).

Mr. President, it is about you. It is about your insistence on rushing health care legislation that will affect over 16 percent of our nation's economy. It is about you championing legislation in Congress that will ultimately shut down private businesses and the private health insurance market and take away options for all citizens. It is about your champions in Congress insisting that abortion is a part of "basic health care" and that taxpayers should pay for it.

To hear more about how abortion is currently part of President Obama's attempt to launch a government takeover of healthcare, join me tonight with Dr. James Dobson and an array of pro-life leaders from across the nation in a first of its kind Webcast.

As mother of 12 - 6 of whom NEEDED tonsillectomies - I can say from experience that tonsillectomies are not at all easy to come by but obtained only after jumping through MANY hoops.

Once again, Obama maligns yet another group of people - people like policemen who never expected to be targeted for simply performing the job they were trained for. So all these people are now under suspicion - impugned by our Glorious Leader.  I guess the only people we can trust are people whose paychecks come from Uncle Sam.

Love,
