Have you ever wondered why health care is getting the center ring of the D.C. circus when other issues like a nuclear-armed Iran with a nutball's hand on the button, El Jefe (Hugo Chavez) now offering to let Iran build a backup nuclear plant in Venezuela in case someone (the "evil" Israelis) take out the current facilities in Iran, that ever-fertile source of world crises, North Korea, is lobbing possibly nuclear-tipped missiles over Japan towards Hawaii, and the American economy is in shambles and fluttering in the wind? Well, I have too. Health care is important and all, but it isn't an issue that compares to a country getting wiped out with the short flight of a few ballistic missiles or an economy that could do a Titanic for a number of different resons. Does the Obama Administration really think that health care reform is more important than these other potentially life-and-death issues or is this a distraction while they run the real con with the other hand? Either way the answer isn't good. If the answer is "yes" then their judgment is profoundly skewed. If the answer is "no" then what is the real con? I fear the agenda, whatever it is, will not help the U.S. get back on track, but rather will take us off in directions we have never been before and not good ones either.
