Here's the buzz on Health Care Reform

First a laugh, then a cry.

A cowboy from Texas attends a social function where Barack Obama is trying 

  to gather more support for his Health Plan. Once he discovers the cowboy is 
  from President Bush's home area, he starts to belittle him by talking in a 
  southern drawl and single syllable words. As he was doing that, he kept 
  swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head. 
 
  The cowboy says, "Y'all havin' some problem with them circle flies?" Obama 
  stopped talking and said, "Well, yes, if that's what they're called, but 
  I've never heard of circle flies." 
 
  "Well Sir," the cowboy replies, "circle flies hang around ranches. They're 
  called circle flies because they're almost always found circling around the 
  back end of a horse." 
 
  "Oh," Obama replies as he goes back to rambling. But, a moment later he 
  stops and bluntly asks, "Are you calling me a horse's ass?" 
 
  "No, Sir," the cowboy replies, "I have too much respect for the citizens of 
  this country to call their President a horse's ass." 
 
  "That's a good thing," Obama responds and begins rambling on once more. 
 
  After a long pause, the cowboy, in his best Texas drawl says, "Hard to fool 

  them flies, though." 

And how about Stretch Pelosi?   Pelosi: Constitutionality of individual mandates not “serious” question  http://hotair.com/archives/2009/10/23/pelosi-constitutionality-of-individual-mandates-not-serious-question/

"CNSNews.com: “Madam Speaker, where specifically does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to enact an individual health insurance mandate?”

Pelosi: “Are you serious? Are you serious?”

CNSNews.com: “Yes, yes I am.”

Pelosi avoided answering the question, probably because she doesn’t have an answer. Her spokesman said that it was “not a serious question,” but if so, one would presume that Pelosi or her office could provide an easily-corroborated answer. After all, the Constitution is where Congress derives all of its authority. It’s not exactly a lengthy document. How difficult is it to cite the clause that enables Congress to impose a mandate on its citizens to spend money on anything but a tax?

Well, as it turns out, pretty darned difficult. The interstate commerce clause doesn’t apply because Congress doesn’t allow for interstate commerce in health insurance. The “general welfare” clause has never applied to individual mandates, which is why neither Leahy or Pelosi will invoke it publicly. If they trot that out in front of the Supreme Court, they’ll essentially be arguing that the federal government has the authority to impose any kind of mandates at any time on anyone in the country, which makes the limitations of power in the Constitution meaningless — and by extension, makes the Supreme Court meaningless as well. Good luck getting them to buy into that policy."
