I don’t know. I’m not that old, but I wasn’t born yesterday. Never in my life have I witnessed such a petty presidential administration. Good grief! Do they have nothing better to do than go after every critic? Remember, we’re paying for this effort!
This column, titled Kill the Bills. Do Health Reform Right, deserves a read, whether you like the health care reform bills or not.
Within several hours of his column being published, the White House had posted a response, penned by Dan Pfeiffer, on the White House Blog. Mr. Pfeiffer is set to replace Anita Dunn at the end of the month as communications director, the second change in that position in the short Obama presidency. (Does anyone think it’s strange for the White House to respond to opinion columns?)
“Reality Check: Column Ignores Facts about Health Reform,” supposedly sets Mr. Krauthammer straight on what is in the bills he so effectively criticizes.
Mr. Pfeiffer: “In today’s Washington Post, Charles Krauthammer takes great pains to paint a bleak picture of health care reform as ‘monstrous,’ ‘overregulated,’ and rife with ‘arbitrary bureaucratic inventions.’ The columnist’s argument may be cogent and well-written, but it is wholly inaccurate.”
Mr. Pfeiffer continues: “Krauthammer describes a ‘better choice’ for health reform as having three elements: tort reform, interstate purchasing and taxing employee benefits. All three elements are part of the current effort.” …
I wonder if the amount of money we’re spending for the White House to attack their critics is unprecedented.
Has paranoia struck at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? For the last few months, their inability to withstand the policy critics is very apparent. How bad will the malady get in three more years?

Their hypersensitivity is really their Achilles heel. Just an ounce of dissenting pressure is all it takes to bring out the irrational thinking that is the mark of immaturity. Scary and shameful.
