The Men in their Clean White Coats

"I'll be happy to see the nice young men in their clean white coats... and they're coming to take me away..."

Drs, left to right: Dr. Mona Mangat of St. Petersburg, Florida, Dr. Hershey Garner of Fayetteville, Arkansas, Dr. Richard A. Evans of Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, and Dr. Amanda McKinney of Beatrice, Nebraska.
I thought I would go crazy when I saw the flock of doctors (all involved in Obama's campaign organization Health Care for America Now) in the White House Rose Garden being given their White Coats so all of America would be so impressed that one doctor from each of the 50 states showed up for an Obama ('Look how wonder I am") Photo Op. (I guess we can assume that Obama has now figured out that the US has 50 states not 57)

White House's botched 'op'
By CHARLES HURT, Washington Post Correspondent, October 6, 2009

 WASHINGTON -- President Obama yesterday rolled out the red carpet -- and handed out doctors' white coats as well, just so nobody missed his hard-sell health-care message. In a heavy-handed attempt at reviving support for health-care reform, the White House orchestrated a massive photo op to buttress its claim that front-line physicians support Obama.
At least there is still some sanity in the world.

“Gifted Hands” Surgeon Rips Into Obamacare
Posted by BigGov Feeds on Oct 14, 2009

President Obama is trying to rally doctors to his side. At an event last week at the Rose Garden, phalanxed by doctors wearing their white coats (as well as some that White House staffers had handed out), Obama declared, “nobody has more credibility with the American people on this issue than you do.”
Yet one of the nation’s top surgeons, with credibility and acclaim the world over for the pioneering surgeries he has and his personal story of overcoming hardship, recently ripped the dominant health care legislation before Congress in a critique similar to that of conservatives and libertarians. Benjamin Carson, director of pediatric neurosurgery at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions in Baltimore, Md., and recipient of numerous awards including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, criticized in a recent interview the approach of the current bills for their mandate, creation of a “public option,” and lack of malpractice liability reform.

I really don't know who is more crazy. Obama for thinking We The People are such gullible fools; or We The People for being such gullible fools we elected our worst nightmare. By the time this four year nightmare is over so may be the US as we know it. I may be ready for the men in their clean, white coats to come and take me away...
