Obama, the Babe Ruth of Health Care

Obama is going for homeruns. He wants to change the entire health care system. Only a grandiose, paranoid person would try to do something so large that its ramifications couldn’t be predicted.

---

Obama can’t settle for a single because he is so inexperienced that he can’t hit within the ballpark. He doesn’t know the game. He is theological in his demands for cosmic changes. He wants to knock the hot dog salesman above Center Field onto his butt. He won’t compromise because he doesn’t know how to play the game. If only we had a President who knew how to bunt? If only we had some moderation to keep the ball in play? If only we didn’t have a President who hit like a member of the Farm Team in Little League but thought that he was Babe Ruth? If only he didn’t treat our healthcare like a silly game? David Lawrence NY, NY 10021
