Health Care Town Hall Emotions Are Far From Astroturf

I urge members of the Obama Administration to step off the health care stage and into the crowd, that “angry mob” they refer to is a growing number of Americans who want to slow down and take part in the health care debate. One step off the podium will show them this is anything but an “astroturf effort.” This is zoyzia, it’s real, it’s hearty, and can tolerate the heat.

The keynote speaker hit on a few key notes that bring to mind the old Johnny Mercer tune "Mr. In Between." Limbaugh did "accentuate the positive" of President Obama, calling him a gifted politician with extraordinary talent." He encouraged the president to "elimRead More...
