Mr. Smit
h Award Daily, David Limbaugh
President Barack Obama obviously has no qualms about slandering people or industries that interfere with his agenda. In the same creepy manner he defamed the Cambridge Police Department without benefit of the facts, he is scapegoating the insurance companies based on his distorted version of facts.
In the past week, he has ratcheted up his war on insurance companies, who, he apparently figures, must be destroyed if he is to accomplish his Utopian dream of socialized health care. He made them the focus of his wrath again, in his umpteenth health care speech, Monday in Philadelphia. Even the White House blog, in a post titled “Moving Forward to Put the American People Ahead of Insurance Companies,” frames this debate as between insurance companies and the people.
Who is Obama to be smearing health insurance companies for allegedly bankrupting people to increase their profits when his policy agenda is already bankrupting America to increase government power? As the late Milton Friedman asked the clueless leftist Phil Donahue, “Is it really true that political self-interest is nobler somehow than economic self-interest?”
The Daily Mr. Smith Award goes to those writers, thinkers, and statesmen who gave time and effort to dig through the muck, uncover the truth, and tell it like it is, straightforward and with courage, for love of God and country, Constitution and moral principle — and this in a political world filled with smoke and mirrors, political gimmicks and schemes, self-serving politicians and blind partisans, naive and ignorant public servants, and perhaps worst of all: misguided ideologues and treasonous revolutionaries.
Today’s Award goes to David Limbaugh, syndicated columnist, and best-selling author, from his column: Obama vs. Insurers and the People, P2.
