Why is President Obama in such a hurry to get his socialized medicine bill passed? Because he and his cunning circle realize some basic truths: The American people voted for a pig in a poke in 2008. They believed he was somehow better and different from other ultra-leftists and took him on faith. They ignored his anti-white writings in his books. They ignored his quiet acceptance of hysterical anti-American diatribes by his minister, Jeremiah Wright. They ignored his refusal to explain years at a time of his life as a student. They ignored his ultra-left record as a "community organizer," Illinois state legislator, and Senator. The American people ignored his total zero of an academic record as a student and teacher, his complete lack of scholarship when he was being touted as a scholar. Now, the American people are waking up to the truth. Obama is a super likeable super leftist, not a fan of this country, too cozy with the terrorist leaders in the Middle East, all the way into active destruction of our interests and our allies and our future. The American people have already awakened to the truth that the stimulus bill -- a great idea in theory -- was really an immense bribe to Democrat interest groups, and in no way an effort to help all Americans. The American people already know that Mr. Obama's plan to lower health costs while expanding coverage and bureaucracy is a myth, a promise of something that never was and never will be -- a bureaucracy lowering costs in a free society. Either the costs go up or the free society goes away. Mr. Obama knows Americans are getting wise and will stop him if he delays at all in taking away our freedoms. There is his urgency and our opportunity. Once freedom is lost, America is lost.

Ben's column reveals the basic truth. The problem is how to reach the millions of Americans already socialized by government schools, and unions into believing government has all the answers. When will the pop culture crowd and those watching Dancing With the Stars wake up to reality. How will Hollywood ever get the message we don't care about their political leanings and stop trying to educate us with their twisted slant on ethics and global warming.
