BHO spells it out

finally, bho spells it out in plain language. unfortunately, 99.99% of americans wont read this, but hopefully the points will trickle down to the cable network in easy to read and understand points.

i saw a commercial as well put-out by some interest group spelling out the need for healthcare reform. i was glad to finally see some countering to the rabid barking of the town hall protestors (i'm still trying to figure out exactly what their upset out, other than generalities about how the country is changing).
