Carol of the Beltway

Surprising absolutely no one, Harry Reid browbeat, bullied, and bribed Senate Democrats to vote 60-39 in favor of his healthcare bill, early on Christmas Eve.

Assuming full passage by the House, an average family we'll call the "Crachits" will be affected in the following ways:

1) Father Bob Cratchit will have to give up his one lump of coal for the fire at work, owing to the negative health impact of greenhouse gasses.

2) Mrs Cratchit will be strongly encouraged to get federally-funded abortions rather than bring more babies into the world.

3) Lacking health insurance, the family will have to pay new federal fines which will force the children into workhouses.

4) Son Tiny Tim will have his foot chopped off by a greedy diabetes doctor who just can't seem to break the habits he developed before Obama was president.

God bless us, every one...

Merry Christmas to the wonderful readers of "Hope n' Change." Take time today to enjoy your families, your faith and your freedoms...and to remember the men and women who serve, and have served, so selflessly to make this country a beacon of light and genuine hope for the world.

As noted Republican pundit Abraham Lincoln once said, "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool Santa any of the time."

Of course, Obama isn't succeeding at fooling most other people these days, either. A recent "Naughty or Nice" Rasmussen poll shows the president's approval rating at only 44%, while a whopping 46% "strongly disapprove" of his performance.

So enjoy your first Christmas in the Whitehouse, Mr president...but don't get used to it.
