On CNN Newsroom today, anchor Kyra Phillips
interviewed
Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele on the topic of
President Obama's healthcare push. Part of the interview:
PHILLIPS: But whether government-run or private, I mean,
no one's going to demand that you go one way or another. You're still
going to have a choice.
STEELE: We don't -- maybe we do. I don't know. We haven't had that
debate. I mean, you're talking about -- you're talking about the
possibility of reorienting one-sixth of our economy with legislators
who haven't even read the legislation. I mean, are they going to do to
health care what they did with cap and trade? Are we going to get
amendments at 4 a.m. in the morning and no one reads them? And then
only after the Health and Human Services Department has to begin to
implement this craziness, we're going to find out exactly what's in the
bill?
Steele was exactly correct, of course. No one knows what Obama's
healthcare program will ultimately mandate. That's because, like the
economic stimulus, Obama left it in the hands of his Democratic
comrades in Congress to put something together. There are currently
three versions in the House and another two in the Senate. None has
been voted on by either the full House or the full Senate.
That didn't prevent Phillips from speaking with certainty on the matter again during the conclusion of the interview:
PHILLIPS: Want to point out, though, we're still talking
about the fact that people will have a choice. They won't be told to go
one way or the other.
Really, Kyra? How could you possibly know that? Looks like on the
subject of ObamaCare, you've bought the Obamaganda. Big time.
