Page 425 of the Obamacare bill required all citizens to attend regular, mandatory "end of life" consultations to discuss whether or not their continuing existence is becoming a burden to society and, if so, how the government can help direct them to the "exit" door.
Now, the government is hinting that it will remove the so-called "pull the plug on Granny" language because it's unpopular. Especially with grannies.

Hey, if that promise was good enough for the native Americans, then the rest of us certainly shouldn't have any reservations. (Ba-da-BOOM!)
Bonus: The President tries not to laugh while presenting the Presidential Medal of Freedom to a man whose country was taken away by Washington DC.

So his defense of Obamacare is that it will be too riddled with problems to compete fairly with our current healthcare providers? Interesting.
Moreover, Fedex and UPS are considered superior services to the post office, and they're making money. The post office is billions in debt, and sinking fast.
Of course, Fedex and UPS have one big advantage over private insurance companies; they're not facing bills which would make it illegal for citizens to choose their services over those of the government-mandated service.

Indeed, rather than hear from their constituents, some Democrats are now cancelling public meetings or, like Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, appear only as a voice on a speakerphone.
Unable to accept the idea that such vocal opposition to their policies is spontaneous, many Democrats are now suggesting that the rabble have been stirred up by Community Organizers. Which, suddenly, they find offensive - despite their smug assertion last November that Jesus, like Obama, "was a community organizer."

But when factoring in the people who have given up on finding a job, or taken part-time work because nothing else is available, the true unemployment number is closer to 16.3% (1 person in 6).
In other words, the "Hope & Change" administration is exchanging high-fives because more people are giving up "hope"...and accepting "change."
