Down the rabbit hole (15)

I was using google to find an article where Obama discussed his children and healthcare reform (a hypothetical question regarding coverage and whether he would go outside the system for his kids). I don't recall and didn't find the original because my search for "obama kids" brought up this page:

10 Ways Kids for Obama can get involved:

* Create a Kids for Obama Group on My.Barackobama.com. For example, Chicago Kids for Obama or DC Kids for Obama and throw a party!
* Write a letter or editorial to your local news paper, expressing "Why Barack Obama should become the next US President".
* Find a Pen Pal - it could be in your school, city, state, or another state. Write and discuss different ways you can get involved.
* Draw a picture of Senator Barack Obama or "an expression of Democracy". For example, the Senator sitting in the White House or working on Capitol. Hill. You can send your drawing to the Obama for America Campaign Headquarters in Chicago and it will be posted for the Senator to see.
* Implement T-Shirt Thursday. Get friends to wear an official Obama for America T-Shirt to school.
* Take an adult (voting age) to the polls on Election Day and encourage them to vote for you, by voting for Senator Obama.
* Post an official Obama for America Campaign sticker/logo on your school bag.
* Wear an Obama for America Campaign button and/or clothing.
* Host a Senator Barack Obama House Party or sleep-over.
* Contribute to the Kids for Obama Blog .
Clearly this nonsense is from the campaign (I wonder if any unfortunate kids could only find a non-voting age adult!).

Going deeper lead to this:
When you create an account on My.BarackObama.com, you're joining the online community of organizers who helped elect the President and now are working to bring real change on critical issues, including healthcare, education and energy reform.

Why does the President need another network for his propaganda? Is the MSM and countless liberal blogs not enough? Does holding the highest office in the world not offer enough opportunities to get your point across?

Let's go a little bit deeper:
President Obama has announced three bedrock requirements for real health insurance reform:

* Reduce Costs — Rising health care costs are crushing the budgets of governments, businesses, individuals and families and they must be brought under control
* Guarantee Choice — Every American must have the freedom to choose their plan and doctor – including the choice of a public insurance option
* Ensure Quality Care for All — All Americans must have quality and affordable health care

I think we should add world peace to the list also.

This reads like the old designer/contractor saying "fast, cheap, and good; pick two." That's not to say we can realistically pick two of the above with Obama's plan but honestly are the people that believe this horseshit serious? How can you introduce central planning and guarantee the three "requirements" above?

You can't. It's only a power grab. Wake up.
