Obama's healthcare horror from Camille Paglia of Salon

Obama's healthcare horror | Salon: "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, whom I used to admire for her smooth aplomb under pressure, has clearly gone off the deep end with her bizarre rants about legitimate town-hall protests by American citizens. She is doing grievous damage to the party and should immediately step down.
There is plenty of blame to go around. Obama's aggressive endorsement of a healthcare plan that does not even exist yet, except in five competing, fluctuating drafts, makes Washington seem like Cloud Cuckoo Land. The president is promoting the most colossal, brazen bait-and-switch operation since the Bush administration snookered the country into invading Iraq with apocalyptic visions of mushroom clouds over American cities."

Even liberals recognize he is selling a "plan" that is anything but. I should just trust that whatever is floated by the Democrats is good for America?

As a salesman in the high tech industry, we have a term for what the current healtcare reform is today; vaporware. You sell it even though it doesn't exist.

This is good article from a self described libertarian Democrat. She recognizes some serious mistakes that the Democrats are making.
