Health Care, in Today's News 09.22.09

Health Care. Here's the entirety of an article found in a number of newspapers: "The Obama administration warned insurance companies Monday they face possible legal action for allegedly trying to scare seniors with misleading information about the potential for lost benefits under health care legislation in Congress." [!!!!!]

If ever there was a sign that Obama and his health care legislation are on the ropes, this is it!

Obama pulled out all the stops in the last couple of weeks putting his political capital on the line. And the legislation is still going nowhere. 

So, now Obama is threatening legal action to get his way.

Any competent observer of politics will immediately see this threat as a sign of significant political weakness and desperation.

BTW, this threat has all the earmarks of the Rahm Emanuel school of politics.
