Four or five miles up along the road to serfdom is a good place to pull the car over for a breather, and figure out the way ahead. So far, most of the non-right wing criticism of the President's failure to live up to his campaign rhetoric has been of the tiptoe-type introspection type; hopefully the experience of this bill will jar some people into opening their mouths and getting a bit more aggressive on the editorial pages.

That make 8 broken promises.

The folks at AD put out great stuff.

As for the Obama circus this is getting fun. Aside from wanting to cry over the state and future of the country, I'd say these last few weeks have been very entertaining. Liberals have stopped defending this stuff and now all they do is squirm.
