Huh?

Quotable Quote from Michael Kinsley in the Washington Post: "The reason Americans have turned against health-care reform, after electing Barack Hussein Obama President, is simple: Despite protestations to the contrary, Americans don't like change. You would think that while we might disagree about what kind of change we want, Americans are in total agreement that the current situation is intolerable in all areas and that change -- big, immediate change -- is essential. Americans do agree about this -- in the abstract. But as soon as it seems that change might actually happen, as soon as we leave the abstract for the particular -- we panic. We suddenly develop nostagia for the comforts of the status quo. Sure, we want change -- as long as everything can stay just as it is." As far as I'm concerned, Kinsley, a well-known liberal, was suckered by the President-to-be. Obama's election was centered on "change," but he never said what change and now, at this point, he hasn't changed anything. For example, the saving of this country in the economy woes, was the chairman of the Federal Reserve, like it or not. I also happen to believe that the health-care debacle has nothing to do with change, it does have a lot to do with deceitful "change." It's not "panic" as Kinsley says, but a deeply-rooted distrust of liberals and bigger, much bigger, government.
