		<description>Honey:

Reich&#039;s liberal credentials are not in question. And it is obvious that although both he and those on the right find issue with Obama&#039;s backroom deals with big corporations, it is for completely opposite reasons. We have an issue with any president making &quot;deals&quot; with corporations in order to pass legislation. Reich, on the other hand, although he claims that is his reason for concern, is upset that corporations are getting any favorable treatment at all. 

Nevertheless, we all can agree that Obama has a penchant for secret and questionable deals with powerful lobbyists, be they corporations or unions, and he really doesn&#039;t care whether it is right or wrong. He is out to push the agenda he wants, not what the country wants, and if he has to sacrifice leftist ideals to do so, he will.

We all have to keep in mind that Obama&#039;s arrogance is what drives him. Although he is violating the principles of the left, in his mind the ends justify the means, and he honestly believes that no one, not even the liberals, are as smart as he is.</description>

		<description>Reich is another of those on the left who is angry that Obama is not communist enough for him. 
But Reich is too hasty in his worry. If you go to nationalreview.com, you will find that, once again, Obama has thrown someone under the bus. This time it is the pharmaceutical industry. They should have known better. He is now saying he never made any deals with them. So he gets their backing by promising a piece of the pie, then dumps them. So the drug industry tried to protect its ass and didn&#039;t get anything for their compromising of their principles, anyway. Why would anyone trust this guy? He lies all of the time.
 Beware of making deals with the devil. If the drug industry is capitalistic, why would it want to make a deal for its own protection?  This is disgusting. I am so glad Obama is going back on his promise to the drug industry. They deserve that he toss them aside now that he got their endorsement. Same for the AMA going along or any corporation that cooperated. Instead of compromising and going along to make the best of a bad deal, they should have used their clout and raised their voices loudly in opposition. And, by the way, AARP, if you don&#039;t watch out, he&#039;ll do the same thing to you. Anyone who does not want to recognize who we have for a president and rationalizes his standards away, including my liberal friends, is going to get the shaft after outliving the usefulness he is to this crowd.
Does any of this sound familiar?

One of the first fanatics of the Iranian revolution is now a victim of the Ayatollah. Go to nationalreview.com to read about it. This is like reading about Stalin&#039;s purges, or about Castro and Che&#039;s murders. Remember, first he came for the gypsies and I didn&#039;t worry because I wasn&#039;t a gypsy...

Americans have to wake up and remember that we are a people based on self reliance. We should have made more noise and tried to stop the drug plan and the s chip program growth of Bush. No compromising with government tyranny. The drug companies should have stopped worrying about PR and should not have compromised for their share of the pie. There is a great lesson to be learned here.</description>

		<description>If this deal had been done under the Bush administration,  they would be screaming impeachment.  No wonder they are a bunch of constipated burnout wankers.</description>
