A lie Via Obfuscation

Even a lay person can define and articulate the appearance of impropriety; that is why it was so stunning to hear a Congress man calling the President of these United States a liar, while he was giving a speech to a joint session of our Congress. Notwithstanding that the same rank racism found in the Carolinas is alive and well among the sophisticated denizens of New York and Hollywood, the Congress man should have known better because of whence he came (one of the states comprising of Dixie). Whatever negative backlash the Republicans are receiving for one of their legislators calling Obama a liar—is deserving because he should have known better. Now, the Congress man said President Obama was lying because illegal aliens would be covered under the Obama’s proposed health care reform=guess what, the Congress man might be correct. The President is a lawyer and once taught Constitutional Law in Chicago--so he should know that if the illegal aliens are treated differently vis-à-vis coverage o f health care from citizens, the Constitutional case law presidents will vote down any bill that they deem discriminatory. There are at least two lawyers who reads this blog, in addition to my beloved father who is an ardent supporter of the current president, know that this is true. Am I supposed to think that our brilliant president, who graduated with honors from Harvard law school, is not privy to this? I have opined in past blogs that I am rather taciturn when it comes to the discussion of health care reform because I see merit on both sides of the debates. The fact that the insurance companies are having such angst tells me that there is merit to some of the changes the president is proposing; yet, I watched our president on Sixty Minutes yesterday and saw him backed away from tort reform. And lest my Republicans friends are feeling emboldened, you too are beholden to the insurance companies--to quote a line from Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet, “A pox on both your houses.”
